Stipulated to be true is always sufficient:
Cats are a know if animal.

 Insufficient for practtical purposes. You may stipulate that
nitroglycerine is not poison but it can kill you anyway.
 

The point is that <is> the way the linguistic truth actually works.
Millions of these stipulated relations in a knowledge hierarchy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)
comprise human knowledge expressed in language.
Stipulated relations are like the Prolog Facts. Truth preserving
operations are like the Prolog Rules. Anything unprovable by
Facts and Rules in the system is untrue in the system.
Self-contradictory expressions are rejected as not truth bearers
instead of categorized as undecidable propositions.

Empirically verified to be true in the current moment:
I have a left hand right now, is sufficient.

 I can't verify that.
