I think there is a study somewhere that shows books sell better if they seem to make up a new word to describe something. I might be pulling it out of my arse, but I'm sure I recall something along those lines...

"Truthoficty and audiosim: understanding the importance of being truth when you speak" (it sounds right, therefore it is).

Isn't the scientific term for that truthiness?

you said "new words" truthiness was coined already. i needed Truthoficity! It's the validity of the truth of truthiness!

"Truthosity" is easier to say, though.

Sounds like a portmanteau with "specificity", so yes, it would be the rate that you were actually right when asserting you were.
