I agree. Facts are immaterial. Truth, in short, is nothing more than a correspondence between the way the world stands and the way we use language .. according to the rules of how we use language .. which can change over time. Truth has no existence in and of itself, it's something we created when we created language, mathematics and logic. The 'truth' exists the way the rules of Monopoly exists, albeit not on the back of any box lid.
