No "perfectly honest" could precede a blunt politically incorrerct answer, it may be used to soften a person before stating the ugly truth which may hurt the person's feelings, so it's a way to warn you before the hurtful words come forth. There's a whole host of reasons some may use this expression but it doesn't mean that they were lying before. For example someone may say: "Do you like my new car?" and you answer well it's okay. which is a way to say I'm not crazy about your new car but I'm not going to make a big deal about it. OR you could answer the same question this way "To be perfectly honest, I'm not crazy about it", which implies a little less enthusiasm

Not necessarily. I think that is just a common expression and not to be taken as meaning they were lying previously.

In sooth I believe that this means they were being honest but now they will tell you the entire truth as they perceive it to be.

not necessarily. This time around they were just being more direct with you, or a little more specific with you. It's another way of saying, "okay, let's cut out the b-s, this is exactly what's going on."

no, it just means they are telling all of the truth now rather than leaving out some parts. At least that's what it means to me.

Sometimes it means the next words they speak will be a lie.
