I'm not sure whether neurofancy people confabulating should be given an honest bill of truth health based on their category.

Sounds like #believeallconfabulators :)

Honest communication is difficult for some people to assess, and not for others. But I think we should learn from any recent #believeall... that we shouldn't base trust ratios on categorisation.

Honest communication is difficult to do, like weight-lifting, and takes a lot of practise to do well.

It also makes your BS meter more finely attuned, so is a good practise.

With that in mind, you will think this is arrogant to say if you lie for a living but not if you regularly tell the truth: Liars lie with liars and lie to rid themselves of truth troubles.

Think about that when you next talk to a chatbot/human confabulator :)
