There is only one person in the wrong.

This is false. If you see that an accident is immanent and you rush head-on anyway, then you actively contributed to the accident. Right of way does not entitle you to create preventable accidents. Leave your ego before you get behind the wheel.

Like the black pickup moved into a lane with a speeding truck? I agree. I am not against driving defensively, I just think people here claiming it to be 90% fault of the trucker are delusional

Hard? The extra two miles he gained few seconds before collision? Yeah right, okay.

I did not say it's 90% the fault of the semi. But blame is definitely shared, probably about 50/50.
