In real world terms engineers are pathologically honest people. A colleague of mine told me as story: he told the customer for whom he was working the whole truth and nothing but the truth in his dealing with that customer in contravention to the direct orders that he received from his bean counter boss. My colleague thought that the customer should know the truth and not be eventually screwed over. In short order, my colleague lost his job, was banned, and was never rehired. As a real word prerogative and a practical life lessen, when staying in business and making money is more important than dispensing the truth, the pursuit of truth suffers.
