it will turn out that the thing you're actually looking for is better described as "confusion extinguishment" rather than "truth".

This is because, at a universal-enough level of knowledge, "truth" becomes ill-defined, and what you really want is an understandable mapping from yourself to reality

Rather than "truth" being ill-defined, I would rather want to say that the problem is simply that an answer of the form "true" or "false" will typically convey fewer bits of information than an answer that would be described as "confusion-extinguishing"; the latter would usually involve carving up your hypothesis-space more finely and directing your probability-flow more efficiently toward smaller regions of the space.
