No, it doesn't add or subtract truth. Lying subtracts truth.
Karl Marx spent plenty of time studying Hegel. Karl Marx's dialectical materialism is mostly based on Hegel's dialectics. Only Hegel applied dialectics in ideas and reaching truth, where Marx realized that dialectics dont apply to just ideas and words, but to human relations as well as conditions in society. This discovery was revolutionary, because while Hegel applied and observed contradictions in ideas and the eventual win of one idea over another, Karl Marx saw contradiction between worker class and capitalist class in a capitalist society, and reached conclusion that the struggle between them can only have one victor or common demise of both.
If I tell one true claim, it will remain true even if I tell 10000 lies after it.
Yeah, but the knowledge in people's heads will become more removed from reality.
However, both lying and silence take valuble time which could be otherwise used to tell the truth.
Or they will remove my false claims and fill me with truth
Or they will tell you falsehoods whenever you say a true statement, because they followed your advice to just say everything.

Thus, in all debates, there is at least one liar involved. In fact, debating wouldnt exist if there were no liars. However, in order to know what is a lie, lie must be presented as a topic in a debate so that the opposite - truth - can be learned.
What about the expression there are always two sides to every story?
What about the expression there are always two sides to every story?In debating, when there are opposite premises, only one can be true. Thus, when there are two debaters, one arguing for one premise, the other arguing for opposite, it is logically not possible for both to be true.
Can two statements be true?
A more modern example is “this sentence is false”: if it is true the sentence is false, then it is false that it is true.
Thus, P cannot contain "P is false" in any formal logic, as "P is false" contains P and more than P, thus cannot be contained by P.
In order to be right you have to IDENTIFY which answer is right. If you just say everything then you aren't right even if one of those things is right because you still don't know which one is right.
Green is both blue and yellow, and yet, it is neither blue, nor yellow.
