Can we rule out that Tom was 'lying'? Just come across
this. Some interesting points are made generally about lying, 'invention' & misinformation in M-e. Tom is not, perhaps, actually 'lying', but whether he's telling the whole truth about himself is another question. Even if he is telling what he believes to be the truth, can we entirely trust his words? Is Tom all that interested in straight 'facts'?
