So, you're lost in the wilderness and you have two roads to choose from. One goes over a high pass and looks very difficult. One goes through a swamp, and looks very difficult. You have to choose. You can say "I'd rather flap my arms and fly home," but, well, you can't actually do that.

Is it lying to pick one of the paths, even though you'd prefer to do something else entirely, something that isn't actually possible? Are you going to start flapping your arms because it's more true to your values?
