Well, yes. My point is that talking about the 'truth' of events that haven't happened yet and which are inherently unpredictable is questionable terminology - whether or not those events are football matches or as-yet-unimagined advances in electron microscopy or nanotechnology.
Incidentally, I am trying to free you from error. I believe that your way of thinking about cryonics as something that's either 'true' or 'false', with you able to work out the truth here and now by reading as much science as you can and coming to a decision, is erroneous. I wouldn't be bothering to reply otherwise; you and other pro-cryonics folk are certainly rude and patronising enough about the quality of anti-cryonics debate that I don't do it for kudos. If you weren't a good friend I'd have no interest in discussing this.
