Hmm, that’s true I guess. I’m not sure how you would verify truth, but at least knowing it hasn’t been altered is halfway toward solving the problem.

You could try to design the system that it is in the best self-interest of parties creating records to be truthful.

An example is Bitcoin. It is in your best interest not to spend too much. Spend exactly the amount required, not more, and you are done.
