I know a certain percentage of people are deliberately deceptive, but it isn't generally clear to me which specific people those are. In the interests of maintaining some semblance of faith in humanity, I usually believe that people honestly believe what they're claiming.
(The exceptions are the people who claim to run around killing each other all the time, where it reflects better on their character if they're completely making it up. Not that it matters because they could go to hell either way for all I care.)
(Also I should probably state that these opinions are mine alone and they aren't shared by Sophie.)
