Both methods are completely useless, provide no value, and ruin trust. I suppose the silent option is more reliable: You can count on them to tell you nothing. On the flip side.. you can pretty much almost always count on the other side telling you lies... so again, no gain.

I don't see why, given the choice, you would pick either? May as well flip a coin or let the chips fall or ignore the choice altogether as there is no right answer between just those two options. The only right answer there is simply "No."
I am completely perplexed at that response fatalsaint.

I am not saying I would voluntarily prefer either.

The point is if I *had* to accept either evil, which do I view as the lesser? IMO it's silence. Lies are more deadly.

This is a dilemma as old as man so I really, really don't get the disconnect...

Anyway that's the best I can do to explain.
