A "truth" independent of human attendance or knowledge is a belief, an axiom, a theory, an hypothesis, a speculation, an opinion or a conjecture, and should correctly be referred to as such.
It may be the stock in trade for a missionary or a magician to speak of a truth as something not determined, but I would not have expected a philosopher to be so loose about it.
And what by the way, please, was the purpose of the thread?
I had merely sought to extend the argument, to consider to what extent it is logically possible to know anything, gemane enough, one might have thought.
