The end of ep6 is the one and only time a specific number has ever been used.
Because for everyone on the island, it's true that there are 17 people.
I think the existence of red truth is conditioned by the beliefs of everyone on the island. Since without proof you can't disprove anything, the truth remains truth.

Red Truth is for definition something that the human side must accept.
Gold Truth seems to be indipendent of people's beliefs.. Battler used it to make everyone accept that that corpse was Kinzo.
