I'm not sure that it would change a whole lot... Truth is ultimately in the mind of the person that is perceiving the situation. While there is a "true and correct" sequence of events that transpired in any given situation what is truth was how it was perceived by the people present at the time. Therefore while the accounts of the story will differ (even drastically) from person to person is it for us to say that one is not necessarily telling the "truth"?
It would do away with those that intentionally lie for their own self gain but, I have to question how often that happens.
