Yes Minister: The Need To know

Humphrey: Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward....
there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement .....inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated ....and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such .....as to cause epistemological problems..... of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language...... a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Humphrey
: .....You told a lie.
