I'm baaaack.

Is a lie relative? Gary thinks he is telling a lie if he has a, however irrational, belruve in the teo headed man-eating bunny in the shed. To the doctors he is stating a fact, there is no such bunny. Does delusion destroy or support the argument?

Fred experiences a life-changing event that convinces him that there is a god who affects his life in a meaningful wsy and decides to stand on a street corner and tell everyone about it. "God changed my life!" In his frame of reference he is telling the truth, to others he is deluded. To the brain doctor he has suffered a profound experience and is rationalising the effect of it in a way that seems true to him.

Could it be that all are right?
