What on earth could _that_ mean?  We're having an
_argument_ so how can either one of us not be "argumentative"?

This is another example of you throwing words together
that sound nice to you, but they don't mean anything.

You're trying to make up a flavor of "truth" which means
that something is true (in this new sense) simply because
some doofus believes it?  We don't need a new way to say
that the doofus is mistaken, we already have words like
"error" "wrong" "deluded", etc.

The "significance of making the disctinction" is that you're
trying to legitimize people holding erronious positions.
(And no wonder.)

No it hasn't.  Name a philosopher who uses "true truth".

I'm not surprised you don't understand something.  But the
answer is:  It's not logical or philosophical terminology.
We have a phrase "absolute truth", which the philosophers
use.  But it's been around a heck of a lot longer than 60
years.

That's a lie.  If that were true, you'd apply the same
principle to the rest of your posts, and they'd dwindle
down to nothing.
