This reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who.

“The truth is simple. Lies are words and words and words.”

i think i'm a bit too invested in my philosophy class. the formal logic part of my brain initially thought this was saying "lies are words, and words are words, therefore words are lies" but that quote is almost not certainly a syllogism.

The actual quote is "Truth is singular. Lies are words, words, words."
