The tendency of government officials at all levels to lie reflexively poses a serious threat to the survival of our Constitutional democracy. By closing your eyes to a lie and accepting it as a matter of administrative convenience is to tacitly approve of it, which can only encourage worse lying in the future.Does it mater? Either way that's millions we won't have to spend. Thank god!
Instead, an effort should be made to detect and punish lying, thus discouraging the practice and purifying the process of government.
