What about the one who DOES know the truth? I'd assume they would be even better suited, since they know exactly where they last PUT the truth.
Oh, I get it, it's like some martial arts kung fu master lesson that means like "the person who isn't convinced they know the answer is more open to find out the truth" or something, right?
Yeah, that about describes it, but that just is a knock against having low standards for evidence than anything.
...okay now rip his heart out with your bare hand!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
