From a cursory internet search, "truthful" seems to be used much more frequently to refer to people who are truthful (eg. truthful witness), or the trait of telling the truth too (eg. truthful speech). But I like how it sounds :) Have 2 lingots to show my sincere appreciation!

I think this might have not been interpreted as a typo, because that is an actual english word too, which unfortunately doesn't fit in there.

I saw it somewhere else as Evidenta. Is there a difference? Are both correct?

I made up "evidentulo". It might be incorrect. But to me, "kapitano evidenta" sounds too much like "an obvoius captain".
I dont understand why it's "ulo" instead of "persono" or "homo". Anyone care to clear this up for me?

"-ul-" is a suffix that means "a person characterised by what the root [before the suffix] expresses". Used alone, it means "a person" (since there's no root before it).

can someone explain to me the usage of a comma in esperanto? it doesnt match up with how it sounds in english (atleast i dont think so? im a native speaker.)

My understanding is that in Esperanto you put commas to separate just about any two clauses

Yep, I just translated it as
A good person is a person that is good.
and got it marked as
You are correct
Another correct solution: A good person is a person who is good.

Too convoluted for good learning. It reads like a mental "tongue twister" in Esperanto! I want to learn, not practice "double down" sentences at this stage of my learning - just a pain! Sorry for people who like this stuff! Lets have plain "learn the language examples"!
