A character deliberately chooses not to avoid using 1 "to use" a convoluted series of negatives to trick a certain reaction out of another character. Usually done when the character has literally no reason not to just lie to them, 2 "might as well lie," unlike in the page quote where Pinocchio's nose won't not grow if he doesn't fail to evade the truth. 3 "His nose will grow if he lies. It won't if he doesn't." No matter how convoluted the question gets, the answer will always be treated as legally binding, despite any reasonable judge throwing half of these examples out.
