and to flesh this out:
present a group of folks with 2 + 2 = ?
and you're going to get a bell shaped curve of answers. Some folks will say 4. Some answer more than 3. And a few will inquire if it's a trick question. My friends boyfriend is going to answer truthfully and completely the answer is "asparagus". And he can pass a polygraph with that answer.
That's his truth, his world won't allow any other answer, and he'll die knowing he was right. And that is precisely what he did.
