"Probabalism", "Mental Reservation", "Casuistry", "Directed Intention" etc. are firmly entrenched as unquestioned (actually preferred) operative behavior in almost everybody. It explains why perpetrators get more sympathy than victims; why "big lie promises" are made and then acted upon (as if true) by governments; why people seeing the total lack of restraint in their "neighbors" that such "philosophies" engender become fearful, and then willing to forsake freedoms for "security".
