I believe a ‘simple’ cost-benefit analysis is warranted on a case-by case basis.
It is not some absolute, abstract decision.
Clearly truth has a price. Sometimes the price is relatively high and other times it is lower. The reward will equally vary.
Rationally speaking, truth will sometimes be worth the trouble, and sometimes not.

I think the problem is you can’t always visualize all the costs or all the benefits.
