Now consider politics. Suppose you've got a bunch of people with different kinds of opinions. It might be the case that, over time, the objective truth (when there is one) influences their opinions.
Good analysis. How do your observations apply in the case you mention in passing, i.e. the case of much (dare I say most) human conflict (be it political or otherwise) which has little or nothing to do with any objective truth?
You use "answer" and "truth" interchangeably, are they the same in all cases?
