Adjacent to the Truth

Yes. I was guilty, but only for telling the truth.

I was recently reprimanded by an English teacher, who stated that the phrase “adjacent to the truth” has no meaning and therefore does not exist in the English language ..!
So, does being “adjacent to the truth” exist within the English language..?

Or, have I invented a new English phrase ..?
