Yes, I suppose so.

Although I would surmise that might only be because others are not so critical of another person's words.

[reexamined]

I think lying is interesting. Humans can even pass lie-detection tests if they're good enough at it.

[restingstitchface]

Indeed. But polygraphs hold no evidence of effectiveness. It's no wonder humans can pass it.

[reexamined]

There are other methods that can be more reliable. Sometimes.

[Often times they just wound up being super unsafe and resulted in fucking up someone's mind, so whoops.]

I can't lie well.

[restingstitchface]

[At least the topic of that whoops is in the right company for it???]

Why is that?

[reexamined]

[Crane would surely love the Bor Gullet.]

It's a byproduct of my programming. It's difficult for me to lie, let alone believably.

[restingstitchface]

[Yes, especially it's Lovecraftian appearance.]

Ah. Then others have designed you to find lying difficult. But haven't you ever wondered about it just a little? Are you even capable of breaking your programming?

[reexamined]

I've tried to do it a few times before. It went badly. Good liars can say whatever they want and give the impression it's the truth. I know it's not true, and so I hesitate.

[He mulls it over. Robots... are obviously not his forte. But behavior is.]

Badly, you say? Then there's a flaw in your programming? Some form of mechanical cognitive dissonance?

[reexamined]

[He doesn't mind talking about himself, really, but- ]

Is analyzing someone your way of saying "thank you for the compliment?"

It's a flaw, yes.

[Due to reprogramming, rather than his initial programming. His initial programming was flawless.]
