To lie is human
- Lying is something that most people are very practiced in. We lie in big and small ways, to strangers, co-workers, friends, and loved ones.
- Researchers found that people lie on average one or two times a day, mostly to hide inadequacies or to protect others' feelings.
- Many lie and deceive to gain unjust rewards.
- Sometimes people lie to inflate their image or to cover up bad behavior.
- Even science contains deceivers, such as physicist Jan Hendrik Schön, who claimed a breakthrough in molecular semiconductor research, which later proved to be fraudulent.
