   On the topic of honesty...   
   I'm sure they're aware as I'm brutally honest as it's not hard to see.   
      
   I've never been professionally diagnosed (too old for that), but I'm sure   
   I'm an aspy, as are many in my rather large strict Roman Catholic family.   
      
   Having had huge influences of both being an RC & an aspy...   
   I have never understood why people, who aren't politicians or salesmen, lie.   
      
   Specifically, why people like nospam _always_ lie.   
   o People like nospam always claim YES is no, and that NO is yes.   
   o Why?   
      
   What benefit does it provide to have zero credibility like nospam has?   
   (He's almost always wrong - since he simply guesses at everything.)   
      
   While I realize facts don't fit into _any_ religious belief system,   
   people like nospam confuse me because facts don't fit into any of their   
   belief systems, even technical belief systems.   
      
   When people like nospam deny even that which Apple admits,   
   o I wonder if they're really that stupid, or,   
   o I wonder why they would flatly deny that which is obviously a fact.   
      
   You see my dilemma?   
   o If I assume nospam is stupid, then it all makes sense,   
   o But if I assume he's actually intelligent, then he's just a brazen liar.   
      
   On the topic of honesty...   
   o I can easily comprehend why idiots like Alan Browne are always wrong,   
   o But I can't fathom why intelligent people like nospam always lie.   
      
   What gain do people like nospam get by always denying known facts?   
   Specifically .... what makes them do that? (What makes them lie?)
