For me, there's a difference between an honest mistake, and lying to cover up something that was absolutely intentional.
You are entitled as well to feel the way you do. And I agree that there is a difference between doing an honest mistake and covering something intentional. I do see the latter as worse and I do appreciate good intentions, but I have bigger expectations from people that are both good and smart. Sure, nobody is perfect, but I do have a line when it comes to mistakes that you do not cross.

Don't put so much emphasis on smartness, most of the time emotion overrulles intelligence, human nature is a bitch in this case.
From my point of view intentionality should be taken into account in a case like this one.
