Tact and lieing are not points on a scale, they are orthogonal. A
tactless liar is at least easy to spot. A tactful liar is a pain in
everyone's backside and anyone who hires such a person is clearly
themselves not worth their pay.

Beisdes people with big, fragile egos shouldbe stomped regularly, they
may grow up.
