But you do not know my history of truth telling or lying. You know about once incident where I was dishonest. Perhaps I did 100 honest things and this one dishonest thing. Don't you think its a bit unfair for you to say that I have a history of being dishonest if I have been dishonest once and honest 100 times? Colloquially it does not make sense, at least to me, to be a truth teller and a liar at the same time, but I do agree you technically could be both.
Arguably every human being has committed a dishonest act either by lying or failing to include information -- any means really. This does not mean that I do not trust that the police officer is telling the truth when she says I should not go down this road because it is dangerous.
To answer your question: No I would not call applecare or go back to the store and let them know what happened. Perhaps if I wasn't still attending school and had the means to pay back, I would, but as it stands, I cannot.
The return was handled by the sales rep and all rules were followed. No where on the apple site does it mention that the product mustn't smell of alcohol upon return. It also does not say the product even has to be working, although I'm sure that would not hold up in court. (

The computer turned on, worked fine, two or three keys on the keyboard were "sticky" (same if i had eaten candy and started to type). Honestly, now that I think of it, I'm not all too sure how much beer ended up on the thing, and maybe only the keyboard was slightly wet.
