Off topic, but I recently found myself using the phrase "pretty much exactly". I realized it's nonsense, because the first part contradicts the meaning of "exact". I vowed to never use that phrase again.

I feel the same about "probably almost the truth" (not a criticism, just a thought) - unless truth is a range (100% true to 100% false) rather than a binary (either true or false).



Truth is a range though, for the vast majority of things.
