Physicist Admits They All Lie a Lot
Finally, a Truthful Physicist
I once wrote an article titled Physicists Are the Best Liars where I sincerely wanted to point out a scientific fact about Physicists from the science of Mendaciology, the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience of Lies.
And what happened? A number of physicists went ballistic on me, claiming Physicists do not lie! That made me, as a Scientist, very sad since I thought I was paying Physicists a great complement. They are the best! Now I just think they are not the best. They are just ordinary liars who are pretty mean to other Scientists who are, to reiterate a presupposition of my commendation, also liars.
Recently I stumbled across an actual Physicist making the same point I was making in how Physicists lie all the time. Perhaps if you physicists read exactly the same argument made by a physicist instead of poor me, a rank amateur in Physics, you will believe it. If it takes hearing it from another physicist, then you are not the best liars. But so be it.
