That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Even when the thing that would be destroyed by the truth would be your daughter? Or 3^^^3 puppies?

When Eliezer first made that claim the sentiment appealed to me but at the same time I hoped there wouldn't be people who went and took it literally, without the clearly necessary disclaimers. Note that Eliezer censors things that are true when he believes it suits his purposes.
