- P1. Let truth be that which is in accordance with reality.
- P2. Let good be that which ought to be done, be something to be desired or approved of; beneficial.
- P3. If a thing is good, then participating in or affirming that thing is good.
- P4. The negation of good is evil (NOT-good)
- P5. Assume truth is evil (ontologically)
- P6. "Truth is evil" (propositional)
- C1. Since P6 is true ontologically (and so, evil) it ought to NOT be done, be something desired or approved of; NOT beneficial.
- C2. Therefore, reject P6
- P7. "Truth is good" (propositional)
- C3. Since P7 is false ontologically (and so, good) it ought to be done, be something desired or approved of; beneficial.
- C4. Therefore, affirm P7
- C5. Therefore, even if you believe truth is evil ontologically you must still operate as if it weren't.
- C6. Therefore, truth is good.
