Purification of Truth is taking a theory that we think is true and putting it to the test of doubt and scrutiny and applying scientific methodology to verify that what we think is true really is true. We do this so that we can catch mistakes and weed out information that isn't true, or to verify that what we believe still is true. Often it gives us a deeper understanding where something still is true, but we know more about it. Often the purification of truth leads us to other truths that we haven't yet discovered. Or it may cause us to find an error in something related to the truth we are purifying.
