The point is that it's a ridiculous nonsense statement. It can be applied to anyone about anything. I have no problem with someone believing he's a spy based on evidence or even intuition. I do have a problem with a tautology being used as evidence, or to sway opinion.

If the person is trying to deceive you they will attempt to deceive you. Well, duh.
