There are exceptions to the principle of honesty. They ought to be very narrow.

I am not very concerned with little social anomalies such as you sight. My only point had to do with elaborate social rituals versus streamlining, which is conducive to social mobility, and helps to cure the meanness of snobbery.

Your citation of the OED is very amusing. It has almost nothing to do with historical aristocracy, but it is a good joke.........

If I know that my client ran the red light, is it dishonest not to say so to the
jury?

I don't think failure to disclose information is being dishonest, esp. at least when there is not legal or contractual obligation to do so. Now if you told them "my client did not run the red light and I know this for a fact", then you would be dishonest.
