By "true", I mean that one can mathematically prove the correctness and fullness of the public data (ledger).<p>We created the zero-knowledge proof a long time ago. Why we can't create a reliable system for anonymous voting/social polls?
Because he is silly. Pravda is similar to Polish word Prawda than means truth. Truth is very difficult to establish outside science.<p><pre><code> - People are biased in many different ways.
- Modern propaganda can use true facts to build any public perception.
- You can have contradictory facts about same events
- Cognitive dissonance has the stronger effect than people think.
- Sometimes lies are needed because the truth is not something people can deal with
- Perspective is different between genders/race/religion etc

An incredibly difficult social problem not technical. Wikipedia tries to build a system like that and it far from a success.
