wrong

After-school television always told us that lying is wrong, and that telling the truth is always the best option. So you can see that we're in a bit of a moral bind here, given these stories where lying helped people immeasurably.

If you're ever obviously wrong, double down.

Maybe your parents lied to you, maybe you were reading a discredited book, or maybe you heard it on the playground. We've got a lot of erroneous garbage banging around our noggins.
