My original diagnostic test is the most reliable. It can be tailored to holders of officers of public trust who must tap their precocious memories to recall the sequence of their lies for future repetition and perhaps expanded to people who actually seek to heal the world.

I remember rotary phones and telephone booths, so I'm part of the dinosaur subset of the population that actuaries predict will soon return to the primordial soup and revert to pre-birth non-existence.
