Lies have a bad reputation. Telling the truth is normally considered to be a good thing. One conventional view of lying is that it is bad and should be avoided at all costs.

In the past two decades, though, a number of authors have challenged conventional wisdom, arguing that lying is not as bad as normally thought and that a number of other beliefs about lying are misunderstood. A well-known study even shows that an ordinary person tells three lies every ten minutes.
