Aaron Swartz has a post on dishonesty: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/intellectualdishonesty http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/intellectualdishonesty > Dishonesty has two parts: 1) saying something that is untrue, and 2) saying it with the intent to mislead the other person. He goes on to agree with Feynman: there are times where we "should ben[d] over backwards to show how [we] are maybe wrong" [1]. Yet, Aaron later states that "intellectual" honesty is an "impractical standard" to apply to every-day life. Some occasions call for it, others don't. Unfortunately, where we draw the line seems to be moving towards the latter. 1. http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm
