    it lies to you about what film they were in, and you believe it. Is your life any worse off for it?

    I think a better question is: why, then, am I asking it questions?

    If I had a friend I knew was a notorious liar, I would—big chess move—simply stop asking him who actors are. Unless it was really funny.

      If it’s a liar that lies every time or most of the time, then yeah, don’t bother.

      why […] am I asking it questions?

      I can’t actually think of any specific scenario where something is unimportant enough to not matter but important enough that you’d ask. What I was originally thinking of were actually scenarios where I planned to verify the information at a later time, but I mistook that in my head as not verifying it.
