Lying is bad, right? Well, I'm not sure. Sometimes an idea is best explained by using it in a narrative. But if you have not experienced such an illuminating situation, you have no such narrative to tell. So your only option is to lie.
If you want to explain why a child shouldn't go with strangers, you may need to tell a story that never happened. It highlights all of your concerns annd explains the dangers even though these things have not happened in frnt of you.
But lying to prove a point has its limits. Suppose you are trying to convince somebody to make a prudent investment or to avoid a frivolity. In this case, lying will hurt your goals. If you give fake numbers or fake ratios, you have merely spouted useless drivel. Certain subjects, like math and logic, cannot be BSed well. To use a logical point with irrational support defeats the purpose of doing them in the first place.
