> Lying to preserve a childhood myth like Santa Claus.

FWIW from the very beginning, I told my son that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny were just a game we all played, and it's seemed just as fun to me. I don't think being lied to about Santa Claus hurt me, but still I'm not in favor of it.

I'd lie to a Nazi without a second thought though.
