It pays to be seen as honest, not actually honest.

IMO this is equally short-sighted as not being honest at all.

Bingo. This is the final optimization.

It's much easier to be actually honest. When you lie you have to keep track of your lies, otherwise you might slip up and get caught. It can become a huge mental burden if you're lying all the time and juggling many different stories with different people.

When you're honest, on the other hand, it's easy most of the time because you just tell people what you know to be true.

a lier has the same arguments, he also believes noone will catch him in his lies...
