"Human beings, who are not gods, often fail to imagine all the facts they would need to distort to tell a truly plausible lie. 'God made me pregnant' sounded a tad more likely in the old days before our models of the world contained (quotations of) Y chromosomes. Many similar lies, today, may blow up when genetic testing becomes more common. Rapists have been convicted, and false accusers exposed, years later, based on evidence they didn't realize they could leave. A student of evolutionary biology can see the design signature of natural selectionon every wolf that chases a rabbit; and every rabbit that runs away; and every bee that stings instead of broadcasting a polite warning—but the deceptions of creationists sound plausible to them, I'm sure.
Not all lies are uncovered, not all liars are punished; we don't live in that righteous a universe. But not all lies are as safe as their liars believe. How many sins would become known to a Bayesian superintelligence, I wonder, if it did a (non-destructive?) nanotechnological scan of the Earth? At minimum, all the lies of which any evidence still exists in any brain. Some such lies may become known sooner than that, if the neuroscientists ever succeed in building a really good lie detector via neuroimaging. Paul Ekman (a pioneer in the study of tiny facial muscle movements) could probably read off a sizeable fraction of the world's lies right now, given a chance.
Not all lies are uncovered, not all liars are punished. But the Great Web is very commonly underestimated. Just the knowledge that humans have already accumulated would take many human lifetimes to learn. Anyone who thinks that a non-God can tell a perfect lie, risk-free, is underestimating the tangledness of the Great Web."

Det luktar som att någon eller några har underskattat snärjigheten i Den Stora Väven. Ack Ordningsmakten.

Nu har även Reinis lögner hunnit i fatt honom. Även om ingen (förutom Moa i Lilla Drevet) verkar bry sig.
Vi minns Nuon-affären. 95 miljarder kronor som slarvades bort av Maud Olofsson. Som först sa att hon hade informerat Reinis om affären, vilket han förnekade. Varpå Maud vägrade infinna sig i KU, och istället skapade tidernas skämskudde-klipp:
Det var uppenbart att det ljögs i någon ände. Och en hundvalpsögd-Reine avgjorde med slam dunk vem exakt det var. I alla fall för alla med minsta gnutta intuition och människokännedom. (Fan vad ledsen jag är över att jag inte kan hitta det videoklipp, tror från DN:s webbteve, där Reine -frenetiskt lögndetektorsblinkande - hävdade att han inte hade informerats om affären. Det klippet silade dilen för mig.)
Även om Maud inte kunde ta bladet från munnen när det begav sig, säger hon idag mer eller mindre rakt ut i P1 att det var Fredrik som ljög, och inte hon. Lyssna och döm själva.
Att detta inte är mer sprängstoff är ett under. Reinfeldt ljuger bevisligen rakt ut. Inte glidning på sanningen. Inte undanhålla sanningen. Men ljuga. Det är liksom någorlunda graverande för en som då var statsminister.
Det var kanske därför han bara pratade om sin frukost i sommarpratet för ett par år sedan. För att slippa trassla in sig ännu mer i Den Stora Vävens snärjighet.
