And here as in 3D life, we learn, after a while, whom it is silly to trust. People reveal themselves by, among other things, their words.

If it is important, check. imo If it isn't important, than veracity doesn't matter.

As a practical matter, we have to operate on trust, to some degree Absolutely. We all operate on trust to some degree. Personally, the degree of trust I place in posts here is very, very minimal. For example, I don't, frankly, care whether you really went to St. John's or not. I don't need to know. I think it's likely that you did, and it's nice to think that there's another St. Johnnie here, but if you didn't, so what? I'm not relying on anything you've said here to make any significant decisions, so if it's all pretend on your part, I don't see what difference that makes.
