I see what you're saying... but when is it allowable to be dishonest?

In the short run, lies are better than the truth almost everytime.

But in the long run, when everyone discovers that you're a fraudster a liar and a cheat (and lets face it, the truth just about always comes out), and your reputation is ruined with no one willing to do business with you... well, that kinda sucks.

Shouldn't you aim to be as honest as possible?
