Hi Al, In the sense that nothing is "untrue" -- sure, all things are true. Often times when someone makes your remark, it marks the point in a discussion where people have tacitly agreed to disagree -- but why not just say that?
To take a stoic approach that truth is in the eye of the beholder divides the world into parts that cannot communicate. It gives up on discussion for learning, meaning the other persons experience is of zero benefit. This may be the case sometimes ;) but to use it as a philosophical ending point is... Isolationist. And to use it as a social ending point, is well, anti-social.
