I agree, that is a doozy.

Having a kid made me aware of a lot of danger lies: cribs, bike helmets, car seats. Most of these items (and the agencies that test and regulate them) create a sense of danger that far outstrips reality.

I think the 40 hour work week is a massive lie. We could probably get by if everyone was willing to put in a good 10-20 hours. Or we could just agree to perfrom certain tasks, and forget about hours altogether.

I suspect that my Roth IRA is a web of lies.
