Time. Right now it’s 11:35am on Saturday the 6th of December. While that statement is true for me, it is not true for you. The way/system/method we tell the time is useful but not a universally true.

What you're articulating is the distinction between special and general knowledge and truth, which are both true without being paradoxical, relative to dimension. It is true that it's your time where you are, and my time where I am, while I can hold those truths to be real relative to their context, being special knowledge and truth. While "the universe exists," is a general truth regardless of location.
You're making a categorical mistake by conflating special and general truth which doesn't effectively communicate, "useful...not true."
Can you give me a better example?
