More generally, someone who fails to grasp that there are no rules to diplomacy, diplomacy is merely a vehicle for manipulating the actions of other players. Care Bears want everyone to always keep their word, and for people to play nicely. Needless to say, Diplomacy is a boring game when played that way.

Which isn't to say everyone will always lie, it means rational players will lie when it suits their purposes and outweighs the penalty for lying.
