I have believed that to be the case for a while. It's perfectly logical, from a species point of view. I also think that we are hardwired not to be able to believe our own lies, because of this. There is (99.9% of the time) a tell, for humans. For someone to effectively lie to us, we need to want to believe the lie, otherwise it fails. The TV show "Lie to me" is therefore a fascinating exploration (a bit exaggerated in its effectiveness) of how to detect and point out such tells.
