    Do programmers make crap liars?

    Lying, deceit, self deception and other human conditions don't help get working programs written and might even be a hindrance to producing bullet-proof code. Does this mean good programmers make crap liars? Or would they employ
    a split personality and turn off the lying scheming one for work purposes?

    And why the flip does the spelling of lie get altered to lia when forming the noun?

            Why assume that lying is mutually exclusive to being able to program?

            Lying requires inventiveness, a good memory, quick thinking and the ability to create a plausible narrative without breaking into a sweat.

                Programming doesn't though.

                    Sounds more like project management to me.
