[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4012910, member: 11146"] I'm not so sure that's true. That successfully lying is easier than successfully detecting lying in the real world, I mean. It is pretty hard to pull off a lie when you're up against someone trained in questioning techniques. You don't even need torture to be able to tell when someone's lying. Heck, I think most folks suspect deep down that they're being lied to even without having been "trained" to be able to tell. You'll think I've flipped my lid, no doubt, but the reason I know that it's not very hard to detect a lie in the real world is that I used to be in the Army and was trained as a 97E Korean linguist. 97E in Army jargon means Interrogator. It really isn't that hard to detect when someone's lying. :\ Telling a successful lie, on the other hand, is (IMO) VERY hard. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to get all "real world" on yous guys. Since when does the real world have anything much to do with D&D! :D [/QUOTE]
