Linguistic Note on Fiber of Truth
The phrase fiber of truth (with the same meaning) is occasionally seen in natural language.
In particular:
- ... to extract the fiber of truth from this tissue of lies ...
sounds as though it would be used in the context of the courtroom by a lawyer waxing rhetorical.
The British English spelling of fiber is fibre. The pronunciation is the same.
