Answer 1

If you point out a mistake of someone, you can tell whether the person is deceiving you or actually making the mistake only when you get to know the purpose of that person from that person itself or someone else.

I am taking a real life case here when one of my colleague did not wanted to share some information with me. Accidently I got a message from someone else which was wrongly sent to me and supposed to be sent to my colleague. I got a hint about the things happening, to clarify whether my colleague forgot sharing this thing with me or is intentionally not sharing. I asked him the thing very straightforward, inspite of telling me the right thing, he starts questioning me. This tells me that he was not willing to shade this thing with me and was trying to deceive me.
