The parent may or may not have a truth- only time tells if the parent was "correct" in any sense, even a "functional" one. The teacher is not a good example since there are external proofs- existing in this limited plane we call reality- which deal with multiplication- although it is all (perhaps) uncertain (and thus who knows if it is true)if the uncertainty theories are correct. Urbanites may or may not be correct in their subjective assessment of their environs, same is true for the rural dweller- I don't know how on earth one would ascertain that anyone held any "truth" there except for a very personal opinion. Unless one is talking about factual data- i.e. such and such a deli is on such and such a street- and that is easily verifiable in our limited sphere of reality.

So I have no idea how you can illustrate your- "I know it is true in my head but can't prove it and can't explain it"- that sounds like the definition of an opinion to me, and not a truth.
