Detecting Liars

Seeking out the worst in people is a dangerous course. I think this article " how to detect bullshit "has some good ideas and everyone should exersise caution from time to time but if you look for liars, you will find them. Additionally, not all forms of BS are bad, softening the blow of the truth can be a necessary evil. I dint want to visit the doctor and be told "your going to die". I would prefer something like " Although you chances of survival are low, we have many new successful treatments for your condition". Like everything in life, balance and good judgment are key.
