There is a fundamental difference between telling the truth and telling a story.

The truth is supported by evidence — documents, records, timelines, witnesses, patterns, and consistency over time.
Stories rely on assertions, emotion, and repetition without proof.

Evidence can be examined, tested, and verified.
Stories collapse when scrutiny is applied.

This is why evidence matters.
It separates fact from fiction, accountability from deflection, and truth from narrative manipulation.

Truth does not need embellishment.
It stands on proof.
