Denies the Truth Clarification

[moalkhaf]

Good morning Powerscore staff. I was wondering if someone could clarify the meaning of the statement Denies the Truth of as I keep running into it and it keeps confusing me

[James Finch]

Hi Moalkhaf,

I'd be happy to answer your question, but I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Are you referring to a logical negation, as explained here?

[moalkhaf]

Yes. I appreciate the clarification.

[Dave Killoran]

Yes. I appreciate the clarification.

Hi M,

"Denies the truth" isn't really a phrase we use frequently in conjunction with Logical Negation, at least not as the primary way to express the idea since it doesn't fully characterize the scope of what we do there. Can you you perhaps point us to a few places where you saw this phrase and didn't understand it? The exact context will help us understand the nature of why this is troubling you.

In isolation, "denies the truth" simply means to to say that something isn't factually correct; in other words, it's wrong.

Thanks!
