White Lies in Action: Fieldwork Techniques

Fieldwork techniques are the art of telling lies while appearing truthful. Here are a few examples:

Tell the truth, but with a spin

Example 1: "I'm not late, I'm just running on Pacific Standard Time."

Use creative math

Example 1: "This cake is exactly 3.14 slices of pure delight."

Make up facts

Example 1: "Did you know the world is secretly run by a giant, sentient pineapple? It's a little-known fact."
