## Abstract

We modify the model of Deffuant et al. to distinguish true opinion among others in the fashion of Hegselmann and Krause \<http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/9/3/10.html\>. The basic features of both models modified to account for truth seekers are qualitatively the same.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
