I agree being high-integrity and not lying is a good strategy in many real-world dealings. It’s also better for your soul. However I will not frame it as “being a bad liar” so much as “being honest.” Being high-integrity is often valuable, and ofc you accrue more benefits from actually being high-integrity when you’re also known as high-integrity. But these benefits mostly come from actually not lying, rather than lying and being bad at it.
Right. There’s no advantage to being a bad liar, but there may be an advantage to being seen as a bad liar. But it’s probably not worth lying badly to get that reputation, since that would also wreck your reputation for honesty.
