Your point is valid.

The "actual truth" of the matter does not matter today -- the perception is truly that he is a god-like hero, come to save the masses from the oppression of the elite.

We don't. We don't know anything, that's the essence of our being. We're just in an eternal pursuit of trying to find out.
