You could make a cogent argument for truth advancing liberty, but I can't see the argument that truth advances equality, either of outcome or opportunity.
You still haven't shown why it's fallacious. You said all you'd have to do to make an equal society would be to redistribute wealth. I pointed out that this would be a transient solution at best. That's as far as we got.

No. Take N cups, that for whatever reason accumulate different amounts of water over time. Now continuously pour all of the water out of them into a bucket, then refill them equally from that bucket. The reason, ie 'truth', is not required. This is a trivial concept to grasp.

Sorry but that's a terrible comparison. People are not cups, and wealth is not water that stays in a cup forever. Wealth transfer is in the nature of society. If you redistribute wealth and do nothing else, then gradually the wealth will accumulate back to the smartest/luckiest.
