Assuming there is one “truth” is usually a mistake.

  But noticing that something else is self-contradictory gibberish is not. Sometimes you can pull meaningful information out of a model, argument, or measurement, but sometimes there's nothing there. Then you have to decide whether and how you can get better results by calling it out or walking away and doing something else. Sometimes people learn from mistakes and/or ask for help and sometimes they don't.

  That may be true for you, but it's not for me

  “When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together” ― Isaac Asimov

    Yes there are these kinds of facts and then there is the stuff software engineers argue about. For example “magic numbers in code is bad practice”.

  Anyone using the word 'truth' un-ironically would likely benefit by looking into the long history of philosophy.
