“Enough of the truth for”: it is this expression that stops me in my tracks. It goes against the idea that there is one unique and absolute truth, the truth: rather, there is some truth, a bit, bits of truth. It is a partitive–some bread, some water, some truth. And there is enough of it for it to serve and be useful: it is instrumentalized truth. Instead of our oath in court, “truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” here is the commission, a court which is not a court, advocating the efficacy of a sufficient quantum of truth.
