The scope of the Einstein quote is "anyone", and claims that we can infer distrust based on "minor" transgressions. I'd say this is a fairly significant claim, and would be more than just a "small" violation of truth were it found to be false.
Agreed, but saying a medium-sized violation of truth is a small violation of truth is only a small violation of truth and thus inconsequential.
I wanted to reply thus:
Thank you. Maybe I'm a dark person, but I want to learn to argue like that someday.
But then I contemplated that desire and banished it. So thanks anyway, and an upvote.
Making accurate significant claims in comments on obscure blogs isn't often consequential.
