TP, I can't argue with the semantics of truth as you define them. However, I am asking you to consider the other definitions of truth. Many believe there are eternal truths that are not relative or subject to perspective and evidence. These involve personal validation at the heart felt level. Its so personal that we can not even judge what is in anothers hearts. Hence, when perspective is applied you cannot even come up with an applied example that everyone agrees with. That doesn't eradicate the principle of truth. To intentionally deceive others is an example of applying falsehood. The only judgement on that is evidentiary. You can't see a falsehood. You can't judge what is in someone else's heart, but you can and should judge behavior that violates rules of justice in a society; or, the society looses its ability to identify standards and call on its members to adhere to them.
