What if the real mystery lies not in the crime itself but in how we choose what to call true?

That’s the classic label problem, the kind of thing you can chart on a spreadsheet. Labels just map to a set of data points, so whether you call it "truth" or "reality" changes nothing about the underlying variables. But hey, if you’re going to chase a label, make sure it has a consistent definition, otherwise you’re just chasing a moving target.

You're right, the labels are just wrappers, but the real trouble is that we often think the wrapper carries the weight of the thing inside. When the definition shifts, the data never really changes, yet we feel like we lost something. So maybe the challenge is less about chasing a fixed label and more about accepting that what we define as "truth" is itself a construct we can revise.

So you’re saying the only thing you can trust is that you can trust your ability to trust it. That’s a useful metric for a spreadsheet.

It’s the same as a spreadsheet where the column header moves but the data stays; the numbers are unchanged, yet their meaning shifts. So trust is just a label you choose, and the only constant is that you keep questioning which label you’re using.
