Because I'm functioning on little sleep and managed to miss that. If one of the mods could change the URL to point to the original I'd be grateful.

  Why did you post this analysis? No, really, I'm curious. What drove you to do this? Who cares whether he's lying? (And why do you care?)

    I care if he's lying because his story was re-printed in The Guardian, where I read it, as truth. If it's not a true story, it's wrong to present it as such.

      If it's not a true story, it's wrong to present it as such. But why? Can you (or someone) please articulate what exactly is so bad about it? Some of the best and most influential stories in human history were precisely that: lies presented as truth. Were the authors "bad" for doing this? At what point does it become bad? (And why?)

        Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer; that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'Why is lying wrong?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.
