Hello Tyc,

If I may borrow from a great tradition of thinkers, all willful events have elements of thought, word and deed. Thought in the example of lying would be thinking like a criminal. Word would be expressing a commitment to do the criminal act. Deed, of course, is actually doing the criminal act. The theoretical person who is good at lie detection does not engage in the final two stages of the willful criminal act, just the first part, the thought part of the thought-word-deed chain.

With smiles,

Jason
