To accept the truth as truth is called acceptance.
However, to accept untrue as untrue is also acceptance of the truth.
But quite often we find it hard to accept the Truth as Truth and untrue as untrue.
Why is it so hard?
Because denial is a defense mechanism of our mind, trying to protect us from what might be an unpleasant realization - that we have been holding on to wrong beliefs all along.
It hurts our intelligence, our ego and makes us feel like a fool and cheated.
So, we take refuge in denial mechanism and refuse to accept the Truth as Truth and untrue as untrue.
