I understand what he's trying to say too; he's just using incorrect terminology.

Truth is what you can convince others, or yourself, of. We don't even begin to scratch the surface of the mind here. There are people who have 100% conviction that a given statement is fact, and even when shown "proof" to the contrairy, cannot or will not accept the new as true.

Truth does not vary from person to person. What they believe is true surely does, but not what is true. It doesn't matter who accepts it.
The Earth is round. It always has been (well, at least since humans have been around). Yet not too long ago everyone thought it was flat. When it was in fact discovered to be round, truth did not change. The truth is that it was round all along, and no one knew it.
Even today, there is a
Flat Earth Society that believes the earth is flat. Does this mean that the truth is different for them? No. What they believe to be true may be different, but <B>there is only one truth</B>, and it is that the earth is round.
