> My generalization is as convincing as "all politicians are liars" I didn't say "all politicians are liars". That's a straw man. > A physicist might not lie when talking about physics, but might tell a white lie to make her husband or a friend happy. I wouldn't call that relentless. Would you? You say: > We all lie, and all the time. And also: > A physicist might not lie when talking about physics So, we don't "all lie, and all the time".
