So if I spouted 100 billion true statements at you, then said, "It would be good for you to give me $100,000," you'd pay up?
Yes, I would, assuming you don't mean statements like "1+1 = 2", but rather true statements spread over a variety of contexts such that I would reasonably believe that you would be trustworthy to that degree over random situations (and thus including such as whether I should give you money.)
(Also, the 100 billion true statements themselves would probably be much more valuable than $100,000).
According to game theory, this opens you to exploitation by an agent that wants your money for its own gain and can generate 100 billion true statements at a little cost.
