Do programmers make crap liars?

Lying, deceit, self deception and other human conditions don't help get working programs written and might even be a hindrance to producing bullet-proof code. Does this mean good programmers make crap liars? Or would they employ
a split personality and turn off the lying scheming one for work purposes?

And why the flip does the spelling of lie get altered to lia when forming the noun?

Nope, I am an a excellent liar, I can also produce tears at the drop of a hat and sulk for Europe :D

Why assume that lying is mutually exclusive to being able to program?

Lying requires inventiveness, a good memory, quick thinking and the ability to create a plausible narrative without breaking into a sweat.

Programming doesn't though.

Sounds more like project management to me.
