In your hypothetical you are asking that if I was a lier would I be ok with it. One would have to presume that I wouldn’t be a lier if I wasn’t also ok with it. I am neither a lier and if somehow I had lied I would also not be ok with it and would hope others hold me to a better standard.




So, there's no such thing as degrees?

When someone asks you casually "Hey, how's it going?" Do you tell them about your terrible day, or say "Not bad, and you?"

There are differences in degree. No one is 100% honest all the time, thankfully.

I think it's strange to be so hostile towards someone for something so relatively minor compared to his other achievements.

Doing great deeds does not give him nor anyone else a licence to lie.
