To really force the logical contradiction, the quantifier needs to be tighter: “Everything I say is a lie.” Just saying “I lie a lot” could have been one of his rare truthful statements. Ultimately, the real joke is that his strength is how much he lies.
I think Peter’s honesty has won out strenght wise.
If Peter does lie a lot, when B.C. asks “Morning, Peter?” wouldn’t Peter have said, “My name is NOT Peter! or, What you’re talking about it, it is pitch dark night out!”
BASHIR: “What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren’t?” GARAK: “My dear Doctor, they’re all true.” BASHIR: “Even the lies?” GARAK: “Especially the lies.”
Captain Kirk : Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd : Now listen to this carefully, Norman. I am… lying.
Norman : You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie… You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie… illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain!
