 If I say there's a fly behind that curtain, and I have no idea that there is, and I go and I open it, fly comes out. Did I know it? No, I did not know it, but it was still true. Therefore shouldn't, my statement was still true. Except that it's still a falsehood. How is it false? Because you're making an assertion you don't know to be true. That is claiming to know things you do not know. We call that lying. I'm saying it's there. That's not saying that I know it's there. That's what the assertion is. You're stating as a fact that it is there. That's not the case. So I happen to cross a brilliant quote by Abraham Lincoln that I absolutely love. He said it's an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood. And the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him. Which means you can't say something is true until you can show that it is true.
