Oh, yeah. Because we pursue truth for the sake of truth. Knowledge is what we are after.

In the real world though, this type of answer can increase the likelihood of war. Actual war. I for one am ok with letting this particular "truth" remain unstated.

And let's be honest, it's not like we will ever get the actual "truth". No matter what anyone says, there will always be evidence in support of the opposite view.
