Your perspective really resonates with me, and it reminds me of the old quote "Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue". When people lie to cover up their misdeeds, it at least promotes the collective acknowledgement that we have certain values.

It also puts a limit on what evil deeds can be done, too many or large things can't be hidden under the veil of innocence.

When even pretence is no longer a concern, there's no limit really.
