Your statement had two interpretations; one is mystical bullshit, and the other is trivially true but misleadingly written and irrelevant to the sort of truth-seeking we actually deliberate about. Thus the downvotes.
That seems like an unsympathetic reading. Personally, I can't see the "mystical bullshit" interpretation after looking.
The original post ignored the costs of the truth. It seemed to me that someone needed to alert the nodding readership to the uncomfortable fact the truth has a price.
Heh. I wrote my comment before reading yours, and I expressed exactly the same conclusion.
