I personally think the reward system related current human evolution punishes blunt liars, but reward "Lie Lie" teller.
A "Lie" is something that is easy to falsify with consensus.
A "Lie Lie" is not a lie but a statement intend to mislead people, difficult to get caught, easy to find a lot of lie believer to defend, eventually make a technical evidence based debate into a religious belief based debate. It's a lie about lie or a decoration upon a "lie" so the "lie" can not be categorized as a lie.
There are signatures of "Lie Lie":
* Claim there's a proof instead of provide the proof. actually any claimed proof often is not a proof but just claimers' belief.
* The claims are mixed topics some legitimate and defendable possibility along with some thing that really happened. In simple words mix truth with lie so later the can defend truth topics.
* When they give proof, they will provide the one that there are less controversial topics but not the needed ones.
* Shift the focus to defendable topics so the undefendable part(i.e. belief based part)
* Usually attached with moral high grounded good cause such as "raised the public awareness of threat from an oppressive regime" just as an example, so the "Lie Lie" teller can convince themselves and their friends, coworkers the claimers are decent people.
*The claimers themselves believe the claims so they can claim they are not lying but they don't think they are using deceptive narratives to sell their beliefs.
Most activists are "Lie Lie" tellers. The problem of our society is a lot of journalists become activists involved into ideological fight but pretend they are providing truth.
