: How do you program a machine to lie intelligently?

	Lie...when a sufficient advantage can be gained at minimal
compromise of ethics??  
	1)  Determine whether an opportunity to lie has presented itself
	2)  Create a comparative table of lies, desired results, level of
	    ethical compromise
	3)  Find the lie such that desired results can be obtained at
	    minimal compromise...
