Suppose so - things are a certain way. All opinions are not true. Even if we didn't know what shape the earth was, we'd know for certain it was one specific shape. I think the point LMP was making was that the 'specific shape' of Truth is the Biblical one & that that one was not 'dim, shattered, debased, diffused etc' - only the 'variations' of it - indeed we could only speak of myths & legends being 'corrupt' version of something else if we believe that that 'something else' is uncorrupt.
