I believe your signature points out the main reason. They are trying to respect other's beliefs.

respecting their beliefs has nothing to do with being scared to admit the other person is wrong
its called pride and ego

telling someone 1+1 isnt 3 is disrespecting them?

Truth can be subjective. Don't oversimplify the matter to simple math equations. It isn't a very good analogy.

Look up the word "Paradox."

Paradox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Paradox (disambiguation).
Look up paradox in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.A paradox is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth (cf. Koan). Typically, either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction, the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true or cannot all be true together. The word paradox is often used interchangeably with contradiction. Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are ironic. An example of this is hating cucumbers, hating yogurt, but loving tzatziki sauce.

it doesnt apply to truth though

one person thinks there is a cookie in the jar
another person thinks there isn't
they are not both right
