That's still a helluva lot better than most religions which really do just hide everything or throw in a half-hearted apology (such as John Paul II's for "every atrocity the Catholic Church has committed).

And think of it as less of a truth/falsification and more as simply clarifying things as they were and pointing out that things have since moved on.

The canon is always open, therefore there is stuff revealed, stuff being revealed, and stuff to be revealed.

Therefore records should be kept of what was, as is the case here and now, but it also does no good to dwell on these things.

That's the intent, ensuring that these things are not dwelt on.
