The original premise is flawed because “truth” in photography is impossible to define. For example, consider a photographer focusing only on a gorgeous flower in bloom, one nanometer out of frame from a mass grave containing countless rotting corpses. Is the resulting, absolutely stunning, totally unmanipulated flower photo telling the stupid “truth”?
