Dammit, forgot again that most people assume that if you say a statement without context you endorse it/think it’s true, not just that it’s something interesting to think about and consider for yourself.

True, I would have interpreted your words much differently if you included a quote. I suspect I very much agree with the point you were trying to make!
Consider the following statements:
“It is the hallmark of any shallow truth that its negation is also a shallow truth.”
“It is the hallmark of any deep lie that its negation is also a deep lie.”
“It is the hallmark of any shallow lie that its negation is also a shallow lie.”
“It is the hallmark of any deep truth that its negation is not a deep truth.”
I don’t believe you. I can’t see any plausible useful definition of ‘shallow ’ that makes these claims true.
