I'd love you to produce data to back this up.
My guess is that you are wrong, on the basis of how often I discover that I'm full of shit and how often I discover other people are full of shit.
Humans are built for being wrong just as much as being right. We wouldn't have such complicated institutions and social structures built around controlling for those symmetric capacities if it weren't the case.
Even then, we find ourselves surrounded and overcome by falsehoods of our own design.
