I think the consideration makes sense because “lies are bad” is a much simpler norm than “lies are bad if they reduce the informational usefulness of the sentence below 0″. The latter is so complex that if it were the accepted norm, it’d probably be so difficult to enforce and so open to debate that it’d lose its usefulness.
