    Verifiability, not Truth

    "The standard of inclusion is verifiability, not truth." This is often misunderstood. To verify a statement is to ascertain its truth by performing some procedure. Verifiable statements are therefore by necessity true, but not all true statements are verifiable. So they could have written "The standard of inclusion is verifiability, not mere truth."
