If it's so truthy, find me an example of that process actually happening in history.

Truthiness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness) is a "truth" that a person claims to know intuitively "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.
I don't believe I can, which is why it has a ring of "truthiness," and not the ring of truth.
