She justifies it by using "the end justifies the means" thing i.e. You can lie to people as long as it's good (in your eyes) in the long run.

... Maybe I'm just too naive. :S

Thoughts?

I haven't read this book but i partially agree with the author. You just can't be honest all the time. And since you're gonna have to be dishonest now and then, you better know how to be it.
