If you would stop being argumentative long enough to read what was
written, you'd understand the significance of making the distinction
between "truth" and "true truth" in today's world.  How
many people do
you hear saying thing like, "I know it's true.  I saw it on TV"?  Most
people today believe that what they see on TV is more true than what
they see with their own eyes.  Therefore, under such a culture, it is
necessary to distinquish between relative truth or supposed truth from
the true truth.  If you don't understand this, then so be it.

Perhaps you need to broaden your philosophical studies.  As I have said
before, this distinction has been around for 60+ years.  Once society
cast itself adrift from the absolute truth of the Scriptures, it has
placed itself as the regulator as to what is true and what isn't.  Thus
when one is speaking, it is necessary to draw the distinction between
what is today called "truth" and what is truly true.

I don't understand how you can be a logician and not have run across
this terminology before.

No.  It's just that sometime I conclude, "What's the point?"
