"Anan told me the train can't lie, so I have to operate under the assumption that as far as the train knows, it is telling the truth." Senku explained.

"However, that truth might be corrupted by the motivation of the train. The train has a vested interest in keeping us on board and is likely lying by omission." He hummed a little bit. "Whatever the train was programmed to accept as truth, is the truth to the train. Objectively however, it's hard to say. I don't have enough data points. The train not understanding the concept of consent, or human comfort are some tells that either there are errors, or the programming either from a technician of some sort or a deviation from artifical intelligence doesn't line up with what I would consider to be true."

He crossed his arms. "Although, credit where it's due, I understand the tether much better now. It leads to many more questions. Also, if the train is so rigid, how can it operate in what is objectively the wrong thing to do? The train knows what it's doing is illegal. The way computer programs work, it shouldn't be able to do that."
