I think plenty of people would believe that paying less is "much reason to lie".
If lying is a problem, then don't bother explicitly stating income. If someone doesn't want to pay, they don't have to. If multiple people want to pay, they can split the bill.
I guess that's where it comes from. The richest, most generous guy not to pay won't want to look as poor and selfish as everyone else, so they'll pay too. Anyone who's concerned enough about money probably isn't going to bother eating out.
What I really don't get is why they pool the bill in the first place. If you're not going to just have the richest guy pay it, why not have everyone pay for their own meal?
I think it's to speed things up. It would cost much more time to have everyone pay for themselves, and waiters would hate you.
