This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

I like the way Jerry Pournelle put it
"If I find a watch lying there in the woods, I look around for the watchmaker."

If you go here you'll find a lot of very intelligent and eloquent discussion on the subject, from both sides. Pournelle has never stated which way he himself believes, but the people who mail him are a very opinionated bunch. Lots of fascinating stuff there, and well worth your time to investigate.

And who is Pournelle? Here ya go. He's certainly not someone to be dismissed offhand- he's a very impressive mind.

EDIT: and by the way, I'm not saying either which way I believe. *grin*
