Many people are quite certain what they say is truth, when they are totally wrong. They do have an effect on the train of thought. Because of them, and sometimes us, we can never be certain until the end.

Which truth? Universals? Particulars?
Axioms are the universals of universals and are not challengable because to do so would contradict the terminology used. For example: "Existence exists" is necessarily true. It cannot be true that existence does not exist or the words have no meaning. So we may be certain that axioms are true if by true we mean logical.
As for particular truths, what if you were accused of murder and everyone believed it was true, but it was not true? You would be certain of the truth, wouldn't you?
