How do you know that?

You're saying Absolute Truth has been Tested and Observed to be true?

Quite well versed enough to know you're wrong, heh. The very type of code you use is relative to the purpose of why you're writing it. But we're splitting our one initial argument into 3 now, and in the end I believe we'll disagree based on the same reasons we didn't see eye to eye in the first one.
How do you know that Absolute Truth is correct?
Are you just assuming it does?
Can you give 5 examples of Absolute Truths?
