There is always truth. You can skew facts to hide the truth, but that
doesn't change it. Some truths are unknowable but that doesn't mean
they aren't there, and these truths are open to debate, that debate
always comes down belief or opinion. The problem comes when the
knowable truths and unknowable truths are confused. By the way honest
historians attempt to be at least minimally objective, and at least
acknowledge their biases, if they don't then history simply becomes a story.
