Interpreting the meaning of "is true" and establishing that something "is true" are two different things -- namely, semantics and epistemology. It's common in science to sidestep semantic questions with operational answers, but that doesn't necessarily work in other areas.
Can you give more examples of such sidestepping where it doesn't work?
It's more a case of noting that there is no reason for it to work everywhere, and no evidene that it works outside of special cases.
