“Luck” is strongly associated with certain false ideas, even if it can be used in a clearer sense that doesn’t involve them. You can’t easily get rid of undesirable connotations of a word, so it’s probably easier to pick a different word.
Any suggestions? If there aren’t any good similar concepts, then staying with Luck makes sense.
“Truth” is associated with lots of false ideas, but we don’t really have better options unless we want to go into Greek or something.
“Truth” is associated with lots of false ideas
The extent to which it may be so is not similar to that for “luck”.
(If you can’t find a better word, using a descriptive phrase without focusing on any single word is another obvious option.)
Using short words rather than short phrases makes a concept more salient.
All else is not equal.
