Deception can be looked at from the lens of probability & friction. Biological and physical processes optimize for low friction especially when it comes to instant reactions. The outcome of not lying is typically perceived penalty, loss or some form of high-friction endeavour. There is a probability of being caught in a lie, but then the risk reward is what we balance out in our heads at the moment. Reinforcement on the risks of lying if ingrained within a system will quite obviously lead to the more truthful behaviour being practiced. Think of how Singapore has a high risk reward for bringing drugs into the country. If you break down a lie into a combination of risk, reward and friction in the alternative, suddenly you put yourselves into situation where you are able to look at it more objectively and decide on whether the situation would warrant a lie from a biological machine.
