A truth engine ?

Hmm. We could use it to tell when politicians are lying to us - sorry couldn't resist that one. Anyway, we can always tell when they are lying - their mouths are open.

The problem with truth is that it is relative and open to interpretation.

Two people observing the same event will see that event from two different perspectives and one may see something totally different to the other.

If this is subsequently reported then both will be telling the truth but the stories would be radically different. How is the truth engine going to decide which is more valid?

At best it will tell us what it decides is the truth. But who says it's going to be correct?

I may disagree and I frequently do. I would like to see the raw evidence for myself and make up my own mind.

Let the truth engine between your ears decide what the truth is. Yes it's a subjective and personal truth but it's worked pretty well so far.
