@porkcow I prefer to be silent, but am willing to do that malicious compliance thing of telling the truth knowing it won't be helpful ( this is where the "whole truth" part comes from )

@sickburnbro I am the silent type

@Victor_Emmanuel I think that is solvable. The simple way to get your brain out of this is to say "For almost all normal things, I cannot possibly say a statement which is absolutely true; in that I cannot possibly cover every possible situation - it is possible we missed an asteroid and it will kill everyone tomorrow"

@sickburnbro I’ve got the autism lie pattern. Which is where if the statement isn’t absolutely true for all case covered in the statement then it feels like a lie. ie telling your gf/wife “I would never leave you.” Feels like a lie because she could cheat and/or try to kill you.

@Victor_Emmanuel Even with science, you cannot fully describe your experimental setup. You should merely aim to describe what a research can reasonably control. In fact their inability to replicate is what can help you identify relevant things which need to be controlled for.
