It is not easy to be dishonest as regards personal presence and being authentically present in a personal relationship in which the focus is upon whole persons as persons; rather than upon techniques, manipulations and the power to be in control. Successful dishonesty in this latter case is not easy to achieve. Successful dishonesty in the former case is easy to achieve, but not without loss of personal and communal integrity. Beware of people who are preoccupied with techniques, manipulations and efforts to be in control---for they may be avoiding authentic personal relationships within which their patterns of dishonesty would be exposed.
