Is it though? If you catch somebody in a lie, will you trust his next statement more or less? On the one hand, you could argue "he will likely not lie again, knowing that I've uncovered his previous lie, therefore I can trust him more", on the other hand, past behavior isn't bad at predicting future behavior.

Claus Relotius has left Der Spiegel, I don't need to trust him. Would you trust his boss not to triple check everything after a massive scandal?
