Yes! The point could've been made honestly, but Thiel used several different 'how to lie with charts and statistics' techniques instead. My respect for people naturally declines when they've gone out of their way to deceive me. This happens regardless of whether or not I agree with the goal of their deception. The Bible doesn't say 'Thou shalt only lie if it helps you further your personal agenda', it says 'Thou shalt not lie.'
