The "-isms" are all you, dude.
The idea of truth-in-context applies to any context, including but not exclusive to whatever "ism" you want. But that doesn't mean I'm interested in wading through a comprehensive list of all the "isms" that people have given words to. I can read wikipedia if I give a shit about any of that.
You've brought up a few examples. It would be much more interesting to discuss a couple of them in plain English, using ideas of our own, to see if we can understand how we arrive at those ideas, how we generate confidence about their rightness, and so on.
