Strange as it may sound, it is nevertheless true

Would it sounds strange to our time, it is true, that people who lie a lot, for example wounds – under otherwise identical conditions – are more difficult to cure than with honest people. Obviously one can not absolutely conclude this, there may also be other reasons. However, provided that all the other conditions are the same, then in people lying wounds to heal more difficult than in truth-humans.
