Why you won't make progress sometimes

This is with respect to the endless investigations that are going on.

The fact is, these perps can deny, deny, deny.  Then they can counter accuse you, and this makes things seem to even out.

Somebody's lying, though.  You cannot both be telling the truth.

Now, the main thing is that the average person isn't likely to spend much time trying to figure these things out.  As a consequence, the thing that happens is that people may "split the difference".  Anybody who appears "extreme" will be avoided.

Yet the truth is an extreme as compared to a lie.  You cannot split the difference with the truth.  Something is true or it isn't.  It may take a lot of effort to find out, but I think most people will not take the effort.

It may take more effort to find the truth than to spin a lie.
