You're absolutely right, ofc, you -don't- have to conform to the view I've described or the terminology I use.
Quoting strawmen is fun, hey?
Your definition of truth depends on evidence, which you refuse to concisely define, and I suspect that your view of evidence is based on at least one question-begging assumption. So whatever you say about a proposition, I believe that any attempt you make to apply it to real-world claims is going to be flawed. And that's why establishing context matters: when you are making propositions with unprovable axioms that aren't accepted by all parties, you have to resort to conditional statements: "Given Rhythm's particular flavor of what constitutes evidence, which is hidden in a box along with Schrodinger's cat, the OP statement is/isn't true."
But hey, maybe you'll actually generate a position of your own at some point, supported by ideas of your own, and I'll have a first-hand chance to see how the power of sound propositions and great evidence lead to you having an actual idea about the OP. *begins holding breath*
