A long time ago I worked as a consultant. Before being a consultant, I had been honest in business and this resulted in my abject poverty. Having learned my lesson, I learned to lie and tell business people whatever they wanted to hear, and this resulting in me becoming a highly paid consultant.
I was hired by Equitable Life Insurance to implement the calculations of a complex insurance reimbursement formula. Apparently this formula was the result of lengthy negotiations in the New York State legislature which produced 3 pages of dense calculations. But in essence, 2 numbers went in and 1 number came out. I decided that before implementing it, I would simplify the calculations as much as possible. Doing this, I discovered that the number produced was just the lesser of the 2 numbers input. In other words, my program was basically "return min(x,y)". Naturally I didn't tell anyone at Equitable Life about this, but I simply implemented my program in this way and asked them to test it. The tests took a long time since they had to manually do 3 pages of calculations for each test. In the end, they congratulated me on the accuracy of my work, and I was paid and left.
All this happened before modern idiocracy. Average human intelligence was never that high. Anyway, the moral of the story is don't burden average people with the truth, and you can get by in life.
