yes, but is there truth without statistics? what is a "truth model" to begin with? can you be convinced of any truth without having a statistical basis? some argue that we all act due to what we experience (which forms the statistical basis of our beliefs) - but proper stats is very expensive to compute (for the human brain) so we take shortcuts with heuristics. those shortcuts are where all the logical fallacies, reasoning errors etc. come from. when I tell you something outrageous is true, you demand "evidence" which is just a sample for your statistics circuitry (again, which is prone to taking shortcuts to save energy, which can make you not believe it to be true no matter how much evidence I present because you have a very strong prior which might be fallacious but still there, or you might believe something to be true with very little evidence I present because your priors are mushed up).
