Re:Study finds links between swearing and honesty by nastygibbon on Wednesday January 18, 2017 @12:19PM (#13428113)
Yeah. This is the classic example and obviously is interesting to think about. Some people still defend telling the truth if you're hiding Anne Frank and the Nazis are at the door.

We might go down a rabbit hole here but your example (mad man, Anne Frank, whatever) doesn't clearly demonstrate that honesty isn't a virtue. It's a clear example of a real life situation, sure, but it doesn't show that telling the truth wouldn't be virtuous.
