Unwillingness to do what it takes to win makes one a poignant martyr, but gives them zero power to effect change. Within the context of politics, these aren't even considered lies, just business as usual. When the job interviewer asks you "Tell me your greatest flaw", he's not asking for a flaw, he's saying "Describe a strength as though it were a weakness". Honesty does not reward in either of those situations. Knowing how to play the game, and telling the people what they *really* want to hear, does.
