There are many useful means of free association (conflation) but only one means

There are many useful means of free association (conflation) but only one means of falsification (deflation). Justificationism is false.

The question is not what is true such that we can make an excuse, so that we can claim justification for preference, but whether we engage in falsehood, deception, reciprocity, and externality. Wisdom lit is full of falsehood, deception, suggestion, obscurantism reciprocity and externality.

So solving for a truth claim in wisdom lit is simply an act of fraud. What you mean is ‘it works to satisfy a need’. Whether or not it ‘s true reciprocal, and free of externality is still open to question regardless of opinion.

The question then is wheher something is preferable yet not false, irreciprocal and plagued with externatlities

That is the only wisdom we need understand.
