About the title "Virtually True"

The phrase "Virtually True" is an example of an oxymoron, a literary device that combines two contradictory or opposite terms to create a paradoxical effect. In this case, "virtually" suggests something that is almost or nearly true, while "true" implies absolute truth. The juxtaposition of these words creates a thought-provoking or ironic effect, often used to highlight complexity or ambiguity in a situation.
