I wrote an Essay about this many moons ago. The Conclusion i came to is that Honesty is only one Face of Morality.
I can lie, but not be a Dishonest Person. I can Tell the Truth, but not be a Moral Person, it's a bit of a paradox really.
Wife says "Does my ass look big in this"
Husband says "Hold on, let me stand back and fit it all in" The obvious outcome is serious and rapid bitch slaps from the wife.
"I Never Lie" is an Impossible Statement.
