If you did this to me I would want you gone. Making disingenuous arguments shows a total lack of morality.

Why would I want to hire someone who is willing to lie to get what they want?

How would you know they're lying?

Most people really aren’t very good liars.

How would you know? Maybe you only spotted 1% of the lies people are telling you and you’re thinking they’re really bad at lying when they’ve effectively lied to you 99% of the time and you never found out.

I was tempted to ask: "how do you know?", but I will rather just state that I think you are wrong. In fact, I think most people are excellent liars, especially if lying about something they don't consider to be morally wrong.
