From Professor Charles Sampford

I glimpsed parts of a presentation recorded on A-PAC by Professor Sampford some time ago and it gave a definition to Dilema vs Temptation, to Lying, to Misleading, to Persuading.

Dilema = Principle 1  OR  Principle 2

Temptation = Principle  BUT  the alternative leads to Personal Gain.

Lying = using a False Statement to induce a False Belief

Misleading = using a True Statement to induce a False Belief

Persuading = using True Statements to induce a Belief in what you Believe.
