The problem with talking about the "truth" is that it is not something that
be readily discovered. Just look at how long we have been looking for the
"truth" about disease and yet we still don't fully know the mechanism of the
common cold and how to prevent it. Constantly, in science, people are making
new interpretations of reality, based on new discoveries and new data.

The use of the word "truth" makes it sound like you think you fully
understand what that "truth" is. According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle, we can never truly know.
