I think if something is not false, then I don't think it is necessarily true. It could be something else.

But then again, it could be true because if something isn't false, then it must be true.

I hope this helps even though it's a little confusing.

By definition it would be true.But if you take into account all the variables in the situation it can be up for debate.

For example, look at this sentence:
Jenny sold $85 dollars worth of apples yesterday." But if you look at her records it says she sold "$85 dollars and 52 cents ($85.52).

now, its not exactly a lie or false that she sold $85 dollars worth of apples (she most definitely did) but the fact is the total amount she made is $85.52. What do you say? Is it true to say she made ONLY $85 dollars? No.
But if you say she made $85 dollars most people would automatically assume there was some change left over.So you could say "Jenny made $85 dollars." It's not false but its not entirely true.

Another example:
"They were selling baseball bats for $99 dollars yesterday."
The baseball bats were on sale for that amount of money but if you add the taxes at the final sale it came up to $100 dollars. Was it a lie that they were selling them for $99 dollars? No. But its also true that you had to pay $100 in total.

One last example:
"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." They put that sign on mirrors in cars. Is it false to say there you see a car close behind you in the mirror? No. But is is as close as it appears? No. It really depends on perception.

So is something true if it's not false? It really depends. That's why we have terms like "rounding off" "generalize" "mostly". Thats also why things are subjective to perception and every person can look at the same rainbow and see different colors. There's definitely a rainbow, but is it the same to everyone looking at it? No. Everything is subject to perception. So in answer, if something is not false, is it true? No.

(but if your in trouble with the law just nix everything i said and tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Cops hate it when you get all philosophical on them lol. )

Sorry the answer is so long xD hope it helps!

awnser:

the thousand and one nights – or, as i prefer to call them in the following forpurely practical reasons: the arabian nights – as we perceive them three hundredyears after antoine galland’s epochal french adaptation bear a distinct arabicimprint. meanwhile, the commonly accepted model for their textual historyacknowledges various stages in the conceptualization and effective formation ofboth the collection’s characteristic frame story and the embedded repertoire. thevast majority of tales in the preserved manuscripts of the nights has beenintegrated into the collection during two periods of arabic influence, the so-calledbaghdad and cairo periods (gerhardt 1963: 115–374). these “arabic” stages arepreceded by an iranian version, probably dating to pre-islamic times, which in itsturn profits from both structural devices and narrative contents originating fromindian tradition. considering the eminent position that iran and iranian culturehold in the early stages of the textual history of the arabian nights, surprisinglyfew details are known concerning the collection’s relation to and its actualposition within the iranian cultural context. in the following, i will discuss linksbetween the arabian nights and iranian culture on several levels. in surveyingthese links, i will treat five major areas: (1) the iranian prototype of the nights; (2) tales of alleged persian origin; (3) persian characters within the tales; (4)persian translations of the arabian nights; and (5) the position of the arabiannights in modern iran

Which excerpt from tinker v. des moines shows how precedent support an argument? a. "as we shall discuss, the wearing of armbands in the circumstances of this case was entirely divorced from actually or potentially disruptive conduct by those participating in it. it was closely akin to 'pure speech' which, we have repeatedly held, is entitled to comprehensive protection under the first amendment. cf. cox v. louisiana, 379 u. s. 536, 555 (1965); adderley v. florida, 385 u. s. 39 (1966)." b. "while the absence of obscene remarks or boisterous and loud disorder perhaps justifies the court's statement that the few armband students did not actually 'disrupt' the classwork, i think the record overwhelmingly shows that the armbands did exactly what the elected school officials and principals foresaw they would." c. "i, for one, am not fully persuaded that school pupils are wise enough, even with this court's expert from washington, to run the 23,390 public school systems [n4] in our 50 states." d. "under our constitution, free speech is not a right that is given only to be so circumscribed that it exists in principle, but not in fact. freedom of expression would not truly exist if the right could be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots."
