I have to ask - is doing scientific experiments where you lie to some of the people in the study also dishonest to the point where you're uncomfortable? It seems that most here had a really harsh reaction to the idea of lying in order to get honest feedback. And I honestly don't understand why. The lying is only there to give people the psychological distance they need from you in order to answer honestly - you're not lying to take advantage of anyone, you're not lying to get someone to buy something from you, you're only lying to make them comfortable in telling you the truth. Note: I'm specifically speaking only about saying that your brother had the idea. I'm not talking about saying "I'm worried about my brother" to get them to talk to you, which I also think is wrong.
