Update:
There are two definitions for the word. One is somewhat innocuous, but the other definition says it amounts to a lie.
If you were to change the title to "Power of Lies", then you get the idea. Even in this day and age, where lying is excused or even defended, such a statement might seem a bit too much.
A deeper dive into that thought may reveal that lying is a way to power. Therefore, the Power of Lies could well be a proper title, but not well-received. Too close to the truth.
"Getting to the bottom" of what-have-you is never reached, nor intended to be reached.

I watch the movie Logan's Run today. That story had a hero's adventure in it. Logan was sent on a mission "outside" in order to destroy a threat to a civilization. Instead of completing his mission, and destroying that threat as was intended, he brought back something unexpected, which destroyed that civilization.
Logan ended a dystopic view of a future civilization, and put it back on a better path. The movie won some awards, but is not well received by everybody. One can see why. There are those who want things to change, and there are those who want things to remain as they are. I would suspect those who don't like this movie are experiencing it as something of a threat.
