Lies and Truths

Its easy to spot lies. If one is smart enough, one might be able to spot discrepancies soon enough. But, its much tougher to spot exaggerated truths. Any thoughts?

@Ramesh - is this boulder ramesh??
very good point da!! I think the difference is the context. While one the former (lie) stands out, the latter (exaggerated truth) dont easily stand out.

How do you perceive a thing is truth or lie.. it's the mind.. so essentially.. it's the state of mind at that instant which decides whether it is able to distinguish between a lie and an exaggerated truth.. so in an ideal condition, yes it is possible to differentiate.. but again when I say it's ideal condition. it's synonymous to the cars which promise milage 40 ml/gallon or 50 ml/gallon upon ideal condition.. but who on earth drives on ideal conditions?
