It sounds like you're referring to the liar paradox. If a person says to you, "I am lying right now," are they lying or telling the truth. As you can see, if they are lying, then they are lying about lying, so they are telling the truth, but the statement was they were lying, which means that they were not telling the truth. If they are telling the truth, then they are telling the truth about lying, meaning that they are lying, but then they couldn't have been telling the truth in the first place. The real answer is that the original statement is "poorly grounded" and has no logical sense.

I'd say that the best lie was either a subtle distortion of the truth or a selective truth, where you only mention facts that support your case.
Is that what you were asking?

I guess you can be true to falsehood. It works for Politicians doesn't it. They take it to an art form. And then there is honor among thieves. I guess politics has it all.
