You speak in words created by people you've never met, in a culture that shifts over time, never completely beginning from scratch. You wouldn't BE who you are without a matrix - ideologically, even ontologically. Everything that acts, acts for a reason, and that reason is shaped through history. The only objective truth that exists are the ones we create in our minds as formal sets of rules and belief systems, which we experiment with and apply to the real world. How those belief systems apply to the real world, and how effective they are in manifesting our goals is all that matters.

To be understood, it doesn't matter what 'objective facts' are used. What matters is using the most appropriate language to build an argument to convince the audience you're communicating with. Softwar may not be objectively true, but it was explicitly framed to gain the attention of the government he works with, using military language, and it did.
