Normally if someone has authority over someone, the subordinate has to believe the one with authority is right.

If it's informal authority that must be true (at least broadly).

Informal authority cannot be coerced.

If it's formal authority then it can skew from the ground truth reality.

But the prime emergent directive is to act like your manager is correct, even if you don't believe it.

If you don't, your boss can fire you (or make your life much harder).

When the ground truth of belief skews, the subordinate has to lie.

Lying tears your soul apart.
