Saturday Little White Lies?
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation.
- Saki
Well, yes, it can, but as soon as anyone catches you in it, you're going to have to explain yourself anyway. Then again, sometimes you absolutely have to fudge the truth slightly. I've done it to keep Mother from getting upset if I don't notice she's bought a new fur or hat. And my scientist friends often have to use less-than-accurate explanations just to make sure people like me and Marty can keep up. Sometimes you simply can't explain things fully accurately without badly confusing people. Still, I think it's better to err on the side of truth most of the time. The important things in life are worth long explanations.
