Your post includes a lot of information about yourself that’s not really relevant to the question of whether or not goals overlap.
For LessWrong regulars, probably the best description of HowTruthful (www.howtruthful.com) is that it tracks current epistemic status of individual thoughts, and connects individual thoughts as evidence for and against other thoughts.
That claim looks to me like it’s wrong. It seems to contain a list of pro’s and con’s for individual statements but I don’t see epistemic status listed. In a LessWrong post that uses an epistemic status header, that header does not contain the arguments for the thesis of the post.
No, often it’s things like “I’m making this statement in a domain in which I’m an expert”, “I came up with this statement today in the shower”, “I was working on this statement for the last year”. It’s about sharing information about the empiric process behind the statement that’s distinct from the direct argument.
In general, it’s left to the reader to decide whether they think a statement is true or false. It’s up to the writer to share the information that’s useful for the reader to make that judgement.

Isn’t one’s opinion of whether the statement is false, debatable, or true the epistemic status of that statement according to that person?

Pardon my noob mistake. I’ve edited the post with a correction.
