In general terms I think it's a bit like the way magic tricks work - you can't believe that the person playing the trick on you could have the dedication to go to such extreme lengths to play the trick on you, so you psychologically under-prepare. When the police work on you to uncover a lie they go to similar extreme lengths, in all sorts of ways, to root the lie out. What you're saying here is that if someone who is trying to find the lie doesn't have a target, then they don't have anything to analyse, but really, the only way to be absolutely sure someone can't discover a lie is if there isn't one there in the first place.
