LOL, perfect answer. Point being, you lie to the MF instead of letting him do something you'll both regret...thus, we see that simply saying "lying is bad" is adequate for children or the untrustworthy, but in the real world it's not so cut and dry.
It's but a small leap then to a battle situation, and since taqiyya assumes that all the infidel are actively trying to destroy the faithful (body and soul), if what they say is true then what's wrong with talking out both sides of their mouths?
My point was... I would find an honest way to dissuade him WITHOUT lying... and not that I would lie to him. Why say that is an advocation of telling a lie?
There is NO excuse for arabs lying.
Sorry if my willingness to get my friend pukeass drunk, comes across as any form of lying. It's not.
