Poor logic there, While lying is endemic amongst politicians, the
capacity to lie isn't the basic political skill, which is expertise in
reading and manipulating other people.

LOL, while you may not be very good at it, that's precisely what you
try to do here with your never-ending river of diatribe and
invective. I suppose that makes you a wannabe politician who's too
lazy to campaign for office. Kind of in the same way that keeps you
from looking for work, huh?
Yeah, yeah, I know...
I've heard it a thousand times before; it's not your fault, the
Dutch don't like to hire old men

And while I might have the
capacity to lie successfully - I don't know if I do because I don't
make a habit of lying -

That's not true.

it isn't a capacity that you can attribute to
me, since - as far as I know - it's not a skill that I've practised on
this user group.
Quite a few people have accused me of lying, because they don't
believe the information I've presented, but that isn't quite the same
thing. If you don't believe me, prove that I'm wrong.

OK.

"Jim is - as usual - out of touch with reality - which probably
helps him present his (admittedly above average) design skills as if
he was another Bob Widlar, Hans Camenzind or Barry Gilbert. Guys
like that do get hired, but they don't last - and Jim did leave
Motorola because they didn't want to keep on using his team."
First, the presumption is that since you purport to be a judge of
who's in touch with reality and who isn't, then in order to be
qualified to make that judgment _you_ must be in touch with reality.
Second, I suggest that if Jim does have the presentation skills you
mention, then he is very much _in_ touch with reality in that he
knows what to do to in order to sell himself and his stuff in the
real world.
Finally, since if follows naturally that Jim is _clearly_ in touch
with reality and you claim that he isn't, that means that your
statement that he isn't is untrue, ergo a lie, which makes _you_ a
liar. Either that or _you're_ the one who's out of touch with
reality and believes the statement that Jim isn't, to be true.
