To illustrate the logic involved, there was an old joke, translated here in the PC-pu[t]rified form: two competing merchants [let us call them X and Y] meet on the road. X thinks "well, if he asks me where I'm going, I should not tell him the truth that I'm going to A, and should instead say that I'm going to B. But since he would not believe me, I am to say that I am going to A". Well, they meet, exchange greetings, and merchant Y asks, "well, and where are you going?"
-"To A"
-"You are lying in your teeth, old X, you ARE going to A".
