In his blog, Scott Adams describes his exasperating experience following a change of motherboards. Central to the story is the fact that he has two phone numbers for Windows re-activation, both of which claim they are an official Microsoft call center and that the other is a scam. Neither are any help anyway. Seems to be a topical issue right now.

    From the linked Wikipedia article (emphasis by me):

    Knights and Knaves is a type of logic puzzle where some characters can only answer questions truthfully, and others only falsely.

    Which directly contradicts your claim

    It doesn't matter if a party lies consistently

    Indeed, a fraudster constructs a fiction and tells you the truth about that fiction with the only lie being the claim that this fiction were the reality. And the only ways to catch fraudsters is to either detect a contradiction to reality, or get them beyond the borders of their ability to consistently maintain their fiction, so they get into self-contradiction.
