But it's a translation in two parts, at least it would be for me:
1. They say it's the truth; I interpret that they think it's true, but it might not be.
2. They say it's the truth; this may be a signal of their character or motivations. Perhaps they are a bully or a zealot.
Even if I trust that you'll understand me in the (1) sense, I'd rather you didn't misjudge me in the (2) sense. Therefore, I don't tell people that things are simply true.
