I don't know... it seems like a trick. When someone says, "...you won't get in as much trouble..." you tend to realize you've been busted and so you start assessing the trouble you are in. You think: "I don't want to get into trouble." You hear: "I won't get into trouble." You act: "Let me be honest; here's what happened..." You find out: What was actually "promised" and you neglected to realize was, "... in as MUCH trouble..." which turns out to, you can still get into a substantial amount of trouble that may be subjectively less than what could have happened, but is entirely in the judgment of the authority figure. The rest of the story: More than likely, the "truth seeker" was only working off of a hunch and didn't have any concrete facts in the first place.
