*Lies are more believable than The Truth.*
All Lies are designed to seem true. The expert liar carefully uses
elements that seem probable and logical and are therefore easy to
believe. On the other hand, The Truth is often illogical, wildly
improbable and hard to explain.
It really amazes me how often people think something isn't true because it doesn't seem true. With the amount of crazy stuff going on in the world it amazes me that people can hold that view. On the other hand, a lot of false things can seem false, by which I mean contradictory or just impossible.
