Truth is not "that which was intended." Some find truth in intentions, rather than affirmations. A statement is true if the author intends it to be true and false if he does not intended it to be true. But many statements agree with the intention of the author, even when the author is mistaken. "Slips of the tongue" occur, communicating a falsehood or misleading idea the communicator did not intend. If something is true because someone intended it to be true, then all sincere statements ever uttered are true-even those that are patently absurd. Sincere people are often sincerely wrong.
