Well, with a being like Omega running around, the two become more or less identical.
If we're going to invent someone who can read thoughts perfectly, we may as well invent someone who can conceal thoughts perfectly.
Anyway, there aren't any beings like Omega running around to my knowledge. If you think that concealing motivations is harder than I think, and that the only way to make another human think you're a certain way is to be that way, say that.
