... which is just a partial truth also, and not an objective one ;)

I think the reality exists, as well as the Ultimate Reality -- just that both of these are too vast to be fully knowable, except that some Gloranthan philosophies/religions may believe that the Goddess Glorantha, the Invisible God, or whichever similarly transcendentally mystical and all-encompassing entities may have such knowledge.

The Lhankor Mhy have a myth saying that the Goddess of Ultimate Truth was killed in the Gods War, and she would be the entity that the Orlanthi would possibly view as having been possessed of such knowledge, as another example.

Not every Gloranthan religion would necessarily have a myth about an entity that knows/knew everything though...
