They think because what we have thought to be true has changed, that means truth has - that knowledge is what we construct by truth claims

Rather than that people were just wrong before. The sun really was still a big ball of gas even when ppl thought it was the chariot of a god

Replying to @HPluckrose
"The sun is a big ball of gas" is a better, but incomplete explanation. It's not the full objective truth of the matter.

No, but it is objectively true whereas the chariot claim is objectively false. We can always learn more about things.
