Not nearly as much as your postulation. :-)
People err. People are mistaken. People are ignorant. And yes people lie.
To pretend to KNOW this is, if one declares this, if one is wise, make sure

The pith has lessened in our society: now, you call me a liar, I merely
note that future friendship is impossible. Mere linguistic slumming.
