what is the truth

I've got it!

medicine! despite the obstacles, we continue to advance and treat/cure more diseases than ever before. while i wish advertising for GLP1s would die with fire, they truly revolutionized care for people with Type II diabetes. last year they came out with a treatment for Huntington's disease that slows progression significantly (it was previously untreatable). a drug being tested for Alzheimers might be able to regrow teeth??? more and more surgeries are able to be done laproscopically, reducing recovery time significantly (tubal ligation for example). PCOS has been renamed and redefined to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome to more accurately reflect the main symptoms (lots of people don't have cysts and thus got dismissed by doctors), and they have a blood test for it now.

a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

okay I found it, it's The Best Policy by Randall Garrett
