Could it be that language patterns themselves embed truthfulness, especially when that language is sourced from forums, wikis, etc? While I know plenty of examples exist to the contrary (propaganda, advertising, disinformation, etc), I don't think it's too optimistic to assert that most people engage in language in earnest, and thus, most language is an attempted conveyance of truth.
