Ah yes, Frank Lutz, skilled and professional liar for hire. Lies don't
have to be blunt or obvious, don't have to be wielded like broadswords.
Lies can be smooth and sharp, and be wielded like scalpels. The best
lies are, as advertising still calls them, "the truth well told".

When Lutz speaks, or advises the speakers, seek the lie beneath the
words.
