Half a truth is often a great lie

Benjamin Franklin

When you’re becoming a great detective at an advanced level, you’ll start facing smart, more experienced minds than the regular ones. You have to be sharper than ever because those minds that you’re going against know what you can do, and use that against you.

For example, if someone make you wait then open the door with wet hair and bathrobes and you deduce that this person just took a shower.

It’s true no argument here, but let say, you decide to take another step investigating this person. You go to her bathroom and start observing. Warm hair dryer, hair in the drain, the tub and the shower are separated but they are both wet, conditioner on the floor still wet.

What can you say here?

This person made you wait, came out with wet hair but the hair dryer was warm. She already use the hair dryer. If she dries her hair before meeting you, then her hair has to be dry. If she doesn’t dry her hair, then why did she make you wait. In this case that I’m talking about she done taking a shower with the tub before hearing the knock on the door, then she took the shower again.

Normally, a person would either use the tub or the shower to clean themselves, not a sane person would use both of them. So she took another shower for some purpose. Either hiding, misleading, or testing you.

She knows that you would deduce that she took a shower, and sneak in her manipulation.

Half the truth is often a great lie.

Being able to see through this is the required ability of an advanced detective!
