This is the vital difference. We can be deeply moved by art in the form of poetry or epic narratives w/out claiming them to be true. Scientists have no lesser an appreciation for these than anyone else. Blurring the distinction between 'meaningful' & 'true' is a problem.
It might also not be what matters to you. Please see downwards from this thread: https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/999606931965833216 … For those of us who are particularly interested in evidence & reason, conceptions of truth matter, primarily. For those who are not, they don't.
