@Deckard,
Deckard,
You wish to make the distinction between:
A.) Saying what is true (stating a fact, "factual truth")
B.) Saying what we
believe to be true (not lying, "honest truth")
This is what you mean by "truth is two dimensional", right? There is honesty, and there is correspondance with reality or fact. And these things are different. That is true.
Perhaps you're trying to get to the bottom of someone being honest but also not being correct about a fact. If I sincerely believed that Philadelphia was the capital of Pennsylvania and told you such, I would not be lying. But what I told you would be incorrect, as the capital is Harrisburg. So, you could say I was telling the truth, but what I said wasn't true. Of course, "telling the truth", in conversational-speak, simply means I was being honest - it does not speak to the actual truth of a claim. I can be honest and yet incorrect. Likewise, I could be dishonest and correct, or dishonest and incorrect, or honest and correct.
