Maybe we should modify the game so that the lie has to be the approximate opposite of something that's true? (Actual opposite when used in a logic class.)

My rule is a restriction to prevent an underwhelming reveal, not a heuristic for choosing good lies.
If you're interested in the subject of choosing good lies: All of your statements (whether they are truth or false) should be statements that are unlikely to describe a randomly chosen person. That's why the witchcraft one would not make a good truth or lie.
