That's my take on it too. I'll never understand how people can go through life immersed in "deliberate untruths."
Do understand more now though (i think) that the "deliberate" is as often as not, with so many, one of Cheney's "known unknowns."
Not sure if that last bit makes clear sense, even to me.
PS: No doubt though yours there is rock solid. Pun intended.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
