    In Jain Darshan, the way you are thinking about this fits very well with Anekantvad and Syadvad.

    What you are basically saying is:

    • Right now,
    - it cannot be proved false (no clear pramāṇ / evidence against it), - and it also cannot be proved 100% true (no final conclusive evidence for it).
    • In future, if stronger evidence appears, it may be accepted as true.

    From Jain viewpoint:

    1. Truth is many‑sided (Anekantvad)

    - Any historical or physical claim (like about an idol, lineage, “Matang vansh 3 idol truth”, etc.) is seen as one angle of reality, based on current evidence and reasoning. - Our present conclusion is always limited by time, place, and available pramāṇ (evidence).

    1. Syadvad (conditional truth)

    For such a claim, a Jain thinker would express it like this: - Syāt – from one viewpoint, it seems true (because no strong refutation is found). - Syāt – from another viewpoint, it is not fully established (because final proof is not available). - So, at present it is provisionally acceptable, not absolutely final.

    1. Role of pramāṇ (evidence)

    - In Jainism, a statement becomes “proved” only when there is proper pramāṇ (perception, inference, reliable scriptures, etc.). - Till then, we keep a balanced, non‑fanatic attitude: - Don’t forcefully declare it definitely false, - Don’t rigidly insist it is absolutely, finally true.

    1. Your sentence “there is no space left for this to be wrong”

    - Be careful here. From Jain Darshan, as long as full pramāṇ is not there, we cannot declare “no space left to be wrong.” - Anekantvad always keeps a small door open: new facts, new research, or a deeper scriptural understanding may show us something we have not seen yet. - Spiritually, this humility is part of samyak darshan (right view).

    So, the correct Jain way to frame your thought:

    • “At present, based on available evidence, this view seems very strong and quite convincing,
    but according to Anekantvad–Syadvad, we still accept it conditionally, not as rigid, final absolutism.”
