The truth of something is not always the most impactful part of that thing.

Some truths need to be handled with care, and indelicate handling will cause unwanted angry attention, not the truth itself.

Funny though, how so many people confuse this point. It's easier to feel indignancy over attracting vitriol over "a truth" than it is to play victim for brutish behavior.
