While this is true, most math [1] textbooks generally don’t provide verbose treatments
of controversial, unresolved, possibly untestable meta-problems [2],
(where the validity of the conclusions crucially depend on previous
controversial, unresolved, possibly untestable meta-problems.)
[1] String theory textbooks provide a possible anti-example. [2] Metaphysics, metacognition, metaprogramming.
(Note that whole math textbooks can be essentially correct. Minor errors can usually be corrected without affecting anything else.)

I can assure you that the maths in a string theory textbook will still be essentially correct.
