Certainly not. Honesty is not "knowing truth". It is just being able
to correct oneself when being shown wrong. It is very simple, if they
were not jealousy, vanity, pride, and things like that.
And, you already know where I am going with this. One night, while
dining at a restaurant, a good one, the High Reasoner, meets with an
old friend to discuss the new FIFA rules issued for the World Cup.
The friend slides over a closed sports magazine. "Have a look at
this article in the middle, here." Inside the magazine is a rather
thick envelope.

Ok, but this is a technique for priming the intellectual pump. If
it produces nothing good, nothing powerful, then this method would

It seems to me that this works very well, as long as the society is
below some level of corruption, in which case you can be
misinfoirmed, and by not knowing it and being honest, you spread the
lies and this leads to problem soon or later. Problems comes from
the liars, but also from the people who have been lied. It is very
often hard to delineate them.

summon up 25 ECU's in exchange for receiving 3000 ECU's or Golden
Yuans, in payment, 5 years later.
Only if this reflects some honest contracts.
Honesty is not just "moral", it is something which elevates a lot
the real value of money. It generates trust.
Be honest.
If you don't try to be honest for the calm of your conscience, do
it for the wealth of your children.
Today big corporations are based on lies. That's the problem.
