In reality, we seldom need this. Our quests for truth normally range from 'Did my daughter to her homework?' to 'Did the defendant steal the car?' to 'Were there weapons of mass destruction?' and evidence is what we are looking for.

I suspect even the most committed postmodern parent would look askance on a child's explanation that despite absence of homework where homework should be, it is her truth that she has done it & there are different forms of truth & ways of knowing & evidence is imperialist anyway.

No, imperialist. We are frequently told that science and reason are western and oppressive and have been used to justify imperialism.
