While numerous lines of analysis and countless contentious beliefs about truth are possible, thankfully the dictionary is finite when it comes to definitions. Of course, it alone lends little to clarity, understanding or even gnosis of truth when one is speaking of ineffable truth.
I recognize and apprehend Vam’s clear ‘definition’ of “Supreme Truth”: “…All truths lose their identity ( as we know ) in One.” – Vam And, when one is reduced to either truth by dictionary tactics or pious demands, one also is reduced to truth by fallacious argumentation tactics. In the current case, argument by rhetorical question, changing the subject, failure to state, appeal to complexity, argument by uninformed opinion, argument by emotive language and just plain old argument by question come to mind.
