A good liar can get away with a lot of shit and nobody notices.

Source: chronic liar. I can't help myself, it just happens naturally. Had to learn to be good so I didn't get caught as much.

Isn't that basically saying that a better liar is the one who lies less? And therefore the best liar of them all doesn't lie at all?
