I wonder who the first SNAKE OIL SALESMAN was? The first person to insist that what was wasn't and that what wasn't was?

Are liars not at fault? Is it simply a defect of the brain that causes people to lie?

Yes I know. "Everyone lies".

It's very nice to believe that since it excuses away the lies folk tell who say that.

What proof do we have that "everyone lies"? Wouldn't we have to know "everyone" to substantiate that allegation? Just because YOU lie doesn't mean that EVERYONE lies does it?

Some extrapolations make sense. Some don't. Does that?
