That is exactly WHY we should be hard on these people. Lying to get a sale is theft.
Why should we tolerate it ? It isn't OK just because it happens a lot - think car,
insurance, pension, ... salesmen.

Another way of putting it is that is that it is a con trick.

Maybe the moron did not know the answer - but he knew that he did not know and should
have said so. There is no excuse.

Sorry: dishonesty/lies is something that I really hate.
