The word choice was not a mistake (and was also a play on your words)
The discrimination of obvious delusions as 'false' and less obvious
delusions as 'true' is a form of binding arbitration.
'Certainty' certainly applies in the way you say, but only conveys a
half-truth that will appear to make more sense to those who seek to gain
knowledge of 'true' and 'false'. This is not the truth I speak to.

Kristopher,
The word 'surety' means a taking of responsibility usually in the form
of a bond for someone else's financial obligation.
Perhaps you meant to say 'certainty'?
Contrary to what you imply some things are true and some false....
There is a consistent logical structure to reality and what is
inconsistent with that is false. A delusion is a falsehood still
believed in spite of good evidence to the contrary. Most beliefs of
religions including animistic religions such as that of the Aborigines
are obvious delusion...
Thinking that 'surety' means 'certainty' is a delusion though in your
case it was likely just a typo as sometimes happens to the best of us....
