Paltering: The Art of Lying Truthfully - Rogers et al. (2016)

The video explores the concept of lying, categorizing it into three types: lying by commission, omission, and paltering. Paltering, using truthful statements to deceive, is exemplified by Bill Clinton's response during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The video discusses why people lie, often for personal gain while maintaining a positive self-image. Studies show that paltering is perceived as more honest by the deceiver but unethical by the recipient. The research, published in 2016, highlights the ethical implications of paltering, especially in politics and business.
