What men avoid by excluding the liar is not so much being defrauded as it is being harmed by means of fraud.

The liar is a person who uses the valid designations, the words, in order to make something which is unreal appear to be real. He says, for example, "I am rich," when the proper designation for his condition would be "poor."
