*Auspex nods* And they do not lie, and I do not lie. You question if I have been deceived, yet you've given me no real argument as to why I should not believe in Starscream's potential positive qualities, especially given that I have witnessed them first-hand.

You cite the fact that he is not innocent, or altruistic, or trustworthy, and yet you realize that you are not known for those qualities, either; still, I trust you, in as much as I can. Why, then, do you object, when I trust others by those standards, except that you are distorting truth to serve your needs, or choosing which truths to believe?
