Original thought by @HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml
If you're truly honest, you'd say yes.
If you weren't honest, you'd lie and say yes.
If you were truly honest and say no, then you're not being honest about your honesty.
If you weren't honest and say no, then you're being honest which is a paradox.

A truly honest person would say something along the lines of "most of the time".

But is it problematic to be paradoxical in this case?

Honest people can lie. Liars can tell the truth.
A person who otherwise tells the truth is not a liar for misspeaking. Likewise, a liar who tells one truth is not automatically an honest person.
You’re making the role playing mistake where the lawful good paladin can only do lawful good actions.
