That too is possible! I did read it "my way" and you never do know. Bwdik - maybe you do!!
One of the big problems is that there are different cultural ways of dealing with some very big ideas, like truth and honor and property. Something that is SOP in one country or culture might be cause for vilification in another. You end up with a very understandable situation where a Western attorney's absolute requirement for a client's veracity might simply "not register" on an Eastern psyche.
But I'm engaging in pure unsubstantiated hand waving here.

I do feel like a bigot. I try to control myself. My conscience keeps careful control of my id. I have represented three people from the Middle East who were exceptional to the general statement, I perceived them to be honest, more or less, as most of us are.
