He famously asked: "What is truth?", betraying his confusion with the concept.

Hmmmmm, was it not a rhetorical question?

If it were a sincere question, it would mean that he was unfamiliar with the concept of truth.

If it were, more likely, a rhetorical question, then it would imply that Pilate had contempt for the very notion of truth.

In either case, Pilate clearly had a problem with truth.
