I think not. There are personal conclusions, but universal truths will never exist. Even arithmetic is subject to result altering circumstances.

I started to type something big and long but then I realized it boiled down to something simple. So forgive me for being terse.
2 + 2 = 4
It's truth and definite.
If you erode the concept, you erode the meaning of "truth", and you erode the meaning of "definite".

2 + 2 = Jesus.
You need Jesus.
Jesus is the answer to everything.
(lol, sorry, had to do that, someone told me that.)

You can obscure facts with obfuscation but that doesn't make them any less definite. (Also, even the answer there doesn't really get at the root of what's wrong with the 'proof' that isn't a proof.)
If you have one of something and I give you another one, now you have two of something. Any holes poked into that pokes holes into the nature of truth itself. So presuming truth has any meaning, truth can be definite. If truth can't be definite then definite can't be definite and the whole thing falls apart into the meaninglessness of "not saying anything useful anymore".

2+2=5 pencils
Put the pencils together, then bisect one pencil. You now have five functioning pencils. Units man.
OR
6 + 6 = 2 pounds
Move the materials from earth to the moon, the end result is 1/6th that of the expected result.

Yes, if you mess with the nature of truth then you mess with the nature of definite.
