Yeah ok you can say that but that seems like a different way of phrasing the same thing

The value of truth is overridden but the otherwise negative consequences it would cause

Why would you wanna know your wife is cheating if it doesn't lead to better outcomes? I get the instinctual response is to say people would prefer to know such a thing but I think there's an implicit logic as to why which generally once again boils down to striving for better outcomes.. like people would say stuff like honesty in a relationship is paramount to a successful relationship etc... It's not so easy to actually divorce any of these values from either certain outcomes or at least the perception of pursuing certain outcomes.
