Having a degree both in mathematics and computer science makes me have an often unerring eye for both potential hidden bugs in code and lies that people tell all the time. So, I can share your sentiment.
I often think: How can people become good at math and/or programming, where they have to learn to become very precise and truthful, if they are surrounded by (also "white") lies all the time. Yes, I particularly have all those politicians in mind who, on one hand, claim how important STEM skills are, and, on the other hand, lie all the time.
