If we are honest with ourselves and each other, then we know and talk about the fact that creatures often participate in deceptive maneuvers; to survive and/or gain advantage. Deceptive maneuvers are not successful if it is objectively obvious that they are deceptive. Deceptive maneuvers are successful only to the extent that the creature engaged in the maneuver is successful in concealing the deceptive nature of the maneuver---hiding the objective evidence of the deception from objective observers. Objective procedures for gathering evidence are thus ill-suited to dealing with creatures who are engaged in deceptive maneuvers; whether the maneuvers be consciously intentional or collusively hidden even from the participants in the maneuvers. People who focus their attention exclusively upon objective evidence thereby handicap themselves and make it impossible to understand many realities and relationships which are inherently reflexive; as is the case for creatures engaged in deceptive maneuvers and in collusive games of mutual self deception. All personal relationships are to a large extent reflexive relationships; the more open, honest, and intimate the relationships are, the more openly reflexive the relationships are. The more secretive, deceptive and objective the relationships are, the more collusively reflexive the relationships are likely to be. There is no clever technical procedure by which to transform personal relationships which are truly reflexive into personal relationships which are truly objective; for attempts to do so lead participants into collusive games of mutual self deception which are devoid of truth and full of reflexive bias.
