ABSTRACT

Heaven help the man who took the legal oath at face value and attempted to give his testimony strictly in accordance with the oath. If we might quote Pontius Pilate: “What is truth?” The poor puzzled Pontius was beyond his depth, and unless one realizes that truth is one of the nouns of very high abstractive level, one could flounder pitifully trying to explain in terms of things “out there” what properly belongs with maps “in here.”
