Somebody's lying

 So what's new?  Most of today I've spent watching videos on how to spot liars.  Lies can have grave consequences for us all, but we are ill-equipped with how to cope with the lies.

One thing that you can be sure of--- two contradictory ideas cannot be true at the same time.  Who won?

It cannot be BOTH.  It can only be ONE.  Therefore, somebody has to be lying.  We need to get this right, but can we?

Trained lie-spotters can get the truth 90% of the time, according to this video.  Otherwise, it may only be a 50-50 proposition.   Mostly of the public will be in the latter category as opposed to the former.

That's leaves too much wiggle room for the liars.
