And neither can anything that is not true be {jetnu}. How
is that different.

Truths can be {jetnu} and {se djuno}.

Non-truths cannot be {jetnu} or {se djuno}.

People are allowed to make mistakes and believe, until corrected,
that non-truths are {jetnu} or {se djuno}.

I don't see what the difference is.

>That sounds like

Not to me. Only that the speaker believes to be stating a truth.
