My own honesty pledge would be summarised as something like this:
1) I will try hard to not mislead you, unless the circumstances are extreme (Jews in the attic).
2) Consequently, I will lie in vacuous social interactions (“How was my play?” “It was fine”), but will tell only the truth if pressed.
3) I may, and will, refuse to answer your question, for reasons that are valid or just randomly. This may not involve explicit Glomarizing; but I will explicitly Glomarize if pressed.
4) I won’t meta-lie.
On point 3), I think semi-inconsistent Glomarizing is almost as good as carefully strategic Glomarizing—indeed, it may be better, if it makes you less predictable.
