   There is a "quality" of truth in the assertion that there is something,   
   rather than nothing.   
   That "quality" may be used to measure other assertions as to   
   truthfulness.   
   The importance, or unimportance, of truth in the primate folk outlook,   
   is no longer important :   
   First off, deceit is in our inherited informational handling structures.   
   Second off, we are temporary and tertiary anyway.   
      
   But then, with our hubris needs we will practice any story (including deceit)   
   that pleases us.
