It seems to sometimes happen, but is normally forbidden by law. As such, an infomorph is not so much gullible, than programmed to do certain tasks or not. So, if it is a program aimed specifically at detecting scams and lies, it could be hard to fool indeed. However, the infomorph of Ashira_29 could have some basic ability to detect lies*, yet is before all an administrator infomorph, so his "detect-lie abilities" are probably limited. If you want to know for sure, the first covert agent (the human one) had rented a space on Ashira_29; so it's feasible. However, when the infomorph agent tried to intrude the database of Ashira_29, he was met and deleted by three idiots. Then, the Ashira_29 infomorph  administrator alerted Mr. Ashdool on Mars, and the latter ordered him to carefully investigate and check the station. The human agent, badly prepared due to working in a hurry was thus unfortunately discovered. (*: usually in analyzing available data, not making a Sense Motive check, although the latter could somehow exist for Lie Detectors Infomorphs)</blockquote>
