Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar

http://www.ted.com On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive.

People are entitled to free speech and to respectably disagree without having a Ph.D and 30 years in the field. We should all critically analyze what is said (from whichever authority it may come)... because for example, even two Ph.Ds may disagree with each other.
