Why would he concede something so demonstrably false?

The truth about any issue or circumstance exists someplace, whether it be documented, in the hearts of men, or hanging out in the ether. Attributable deceit is a fairly simple matter. If you have concealed a known truth by actions or utterances, by your manipulation, or if you’ve withheld pertinent information with any intent to deceive others, you have in essence lied.

Finding the truth or determining whether or not someone else has lied is much more complicated. As, to do so, you are required to determine what has been concealed and in what matter. Not recommended for lazy folk who just like to name call when things aren’t easy or don’t seem as clear, plain, and simple as they would like. Unless you are all knowing, it is often not even possible to determine with absolute assurance who is lying and who is not. To assume that everyone is lying seems like a hopeless default position to me.

The truth is very simply an act of revealing, clarifying, or removing from concealment that which may be covered or obscure. Truth resides on a separate plane than material experience. That is why the truth is as likely to be revealed as observed. Even an act of deception, when detected, reveals the truth of the matter, where even in the hearts of the deceivers it is already known. I don't understand why some people can't get that concept.
