In many cases, there may not be an objective truth -- think of it like G=F6del's Theorem or the Heisenberg Principle. Something may be falsifiably true from two different perspectives -- the sun is Yelm AND the sun is Elmal AND the sun is Kargzant.
The statement I just made is probably an objective, outside statement which a Gloranthan would have a hard time making. This particular one might have been made by the God Learners, which means it's no longer fashionable (even if still just as true).
