Did you have 1-on-1 interaction with people where you believe that didn't care at all about whether their beliefs are true?
I think it's probably impossible not to care at all whether your beliefs are true, but some people care a lot more than others. And I have had a number of people who told me to "forget about arguments" because I came to a conclusion that they didn't want me to believe.
That is not caring about truth in an effective sense, even if strictly speaking they still want their beliefs to be true, and in that sense they care about the truth of their beliefs.
