"And anyway, is it true that I have a boil on my bottom? We can argue about whether it matters — but is it true? We can argue about whether publication would be appropriate — but is it true? We can argue about the public interest in knowing about my skin complaints or a famously alabaster-skinned actress’s facelift — but is either true?"

Matthew Parris gives Karl Popper a run for his money in The Times.
