But to tell a lie, one has to know what the truth is, right? That's why I asked the question. "La vérité c'est moi" means literally "I am the truth" (which echoes, tellingly, words attributed to Jesus). If one really is (in one's own mind) "the truth," by definition one cannot lie.

SJS, I am still thinking about your points as you are on to an important observation. I'm a JD not a MD but, I do have access to a pyscho neurologist, Phd, MD. Still working on it ....
Medical residents tell me that it is customary to name medical discoveries after their DISCOVERER. My proposal is to call this discovery " "SURGIS SYNDROME". See LFAA, thread today under 'JL Grahm' for additional clinical observations.
I'm forever messing with my own head so I'm guessing it's occasionally OK to mess with other people's heads. ;-)
It's interesting from the legal point of view too, isn't it? Someone who's incapable of telling right from wrong can use that as a defense. Right/wrong and true/false aren't the same, but IMO they are related -- someone who can't distinguish between right and wrong is probably going to have a hard time telling true from false. (And both dichotomies have a helluva lot of gray area around them.)
