I agree. The wise ought to recognise when you were forced into telling a lie because you valued something more highly than your reputation, and that, in an oddly self-nullifying way, should enhance your reputation. At least among the wise.

EDIT: Gods! I just noticed the accidental similarity to Newcomb's problem (omega ("the wise") is allocating reputation instead of money). I've been reading Yudkowsky for too long.
