Summary

This quote suggests that truth, like certain ores, is often most valuable and easily accessible when it is visible on the surface. It implies that deeper exploration or analysis may not always yield greater richness or truthfulness. In other words, some truths may be plain and straightforward, while deeper examination may complicate or obscure them. Therefore, it is important to recognize and appreciate the simplicity and clarity of truth when it is presented at its surface level, rather than getting lost in unnecessary complexity.
