Myths and Errors
"Truth" means "correspondence with reality"
First of all that there is such a thing; and second that it is knowable, and provable.
Information must show us "the reality"
The purpose of information, and the value of information, is to be decided on one criterion alone—whether it shows us "the reality" in an "objectively true" way or not. That this is what distinguishes "real" or "good" information, from nonsense and deception.
A closely related error is to ignore implicit information (in academia, legislature, ethics...), and focus solely on information that explicitly claims something.
