Thanks for researching and writing so cogently on the subject.

As a financial analyst, I often came across deceptive behavior. Rather than becoming cynical or discouraged, I adopted a simple rule: "everybody gets one chance to fool me; nobody gets a second chance."

I realized that detecting lies was often difficult, but I reached the conclusion that those who lie do it habitually and are no longer - ever - to be trusted once they have been exposed.
