That’s not true, though. It’s just a trick. If tricks are all it takes, then most magic tricks are justified and true in their intended implications. At least ones that do not need misdirection to distract from sleight of hand.
Not quite. Tricks are intended to make you believe something that is not true; in OP’s situation, the other people in the meeting believe that OP is sitting in the location that the background picture is taken from. They can’t actually see the background, however; instead they can see the photo of the background. Their assumption is correct, but the fact that they’re looking at a fake background means it COULD be false.
Then it’s true that happens to also be unconfirmed knowledge. Until it is confirmed, it is never actually knowledge, which makes the whole premise stupid.
It is absolutely in no way what so ever unique to have something that is presented as knowledge that happens to be false in reality.
Otherwise EVERY food advertisement would count in the same boat: “true”, but not accurately true.
Of course it’s not unusual to have something presented as knowledge that is false. That’s just lying.
The distinction here is that the conclusion is true, but it is based off of inaccurate information. The conclusion that advertisements are trying to steer you towards is false.
But the cited example is not the same as advertisement. At all. Period. What so ever.
Advertisement is based on false presentation in addition to an outright lie in the reality of the situation at hand.
What is literally pictured in modern advertisement is often not even edible product. It’s literally, within the picture, glue or other non-edible lies.
So by bringing advertisement into this, you’re actually bringing in something even less honest than what I’m talking about…

The room is misrepresented. If it’s dirty, a clean image isn’t true.
Just because something could be false does not magically make it true not-knowledge.
And if the screenshot was taken just before the meeting?

and we all know that shit is false as fuck.

My dude, I am not the one who brought advertisement into it.
