If It's Worth Your Time To Lie, It's Worth My Time To Correct It

People don't like nitpickers. "He literally did the WELL AKTUALLY!" If you say Joe Criminal committed ten murders and five rapes, and I object that it was actually only six murders and two rapes, then why am I "defending" Joe Criminal?

Because if it's worth your time to lie, it's worth my time to correct it.
