He says you want to believe in lies over truth even if it's a fact! That doesn't make much sense, but I think he means you are putting "Blind Faith" that all is above board, (no pun intended) that no funny business is _ever_ taking place, and the stats are correct, regardless. He's just skeptical, if you put too much trust in _all_ GM's and the statistical data. This I gather from his broken, English and that you don't have a solid case for debate, wether you're right in your assertions or not. Does that make any sense?...Oh well...
