@hagoryopi2101 no, the truth is the truth. We rarely, if ever, know the truth with absolute certainty, at least in the philosophical sense that we can't even know that we exist with absolute certainty, so we can't know anything else with absolute certainty. But within a reasonable degree of certainty, 2+2=4, that is the truth. You can call the numbers anything you want, it doesn't change the truth, you can even claim it's something different, and even if you're too stupid to know the answer to that equation, none of it makes any difference, it's 4, it's always 4, it always will be 4. And a lot of other things are far less certain than that, and far more subjective, but there is only one real truth about those things, even if our modern understanding of it hasn't necessarily brought us to a consensus yet.
