And the folks that admit to lying could also be lying.

And the folks that admit to lying could also be lying.

That's not possible, of course. By attempting to lie about lying they turn their statement into a true one.

Philisophially speaking... If a group of people admit that they have lied in the past, would that make them fundamentally honest for telling the truth about their fibbing?

And yeah... I have big doubts that the folks of ND never lied. That doesn't ring true. Even if it was something like "No, darling! Those jeans don't make your ass look fat!" or "It's not the size that matters, babe" kinda a lie, it's still a lie.
