John Mearsheimer's book "Why Leaders Lie" has a great definition on three forms of deception [1]:
* Lying - Making a knowingly false statement to deceive
* Spinning - Emphasis / de-emphasis certain parts of fact to tell a favorable story
* Concealment - Hiding certain facts to deceive
If I detect someone is "lying" (in your broader definition) I would now use the word 'dishonest' instead.

Not sure about that -- With modern pollution rain water is not likely to be safe to drink (depends on your location)

Massive yes! Amazing for your own health too.
You usually sees it as the default monospace typeface in an old windows environment, probably with no anti-aliasing and with low resolution screen. That combination is an eyesore.
Courier New in an modern environment, with modern text rendering and anti-aliasing on high res screen is actually not bad at all.
But it’s more than that. To name a few: * How does one raise the thrust temperature as high as possible without melting the engine to maximise thrust? (The burning temperature IS already higher than the engine material melting point) * how does one reduce the redundancy (both system wise and material wise) to minimise weight while ensuring the rocket won’t fail?
