Sentry
Paranormal Adept
This is not about food, but just to set the tone:
Imagine a situation where there's a sighting of something unusual, there are a few witnesses who report it truthfully. The investigator comes in gets the story, promotes the case, but packages the information, only presenting the portions of the story that supports the paranormal event interpretation. Details that weaken the case, like differences between witnesses statements are suppressed.
Say, it goes a few steps further. Hazy details given by the witnesses are given form and substance in the story as reported by the investigator. He introduces items not present in the original account, nothing outrageous, but just little factually inaccurate details to help tell the story. There's no big lie, but perhaps a dozen tiny ones.
In a legal case, a fabricated piece of evidence by the police usually gets the whole thing thrown out. In this example, something really happened and all the dishonesty comes from the investigator. What happens in a case like this?
The message here apparently, is that true purity is nearly impossible. How much contamination is allowed when we are dealing with matters of truth?
