    I’ll always tell you the truth,” it’s a safe bet that by the end of the movie that character will either lie or be heavily conflicted about the virtues of the truth or the occasional inconveniences of telling the truth.

    There are many versions of the story; it is altered each time Denning tells it, as he adds and subtracts details to suit his audience. For example, if he tells the story to healthcare workers, he might include the specific information that the health worker in Zambia actually looked up. People interested in knowledge management or Web design might want details about how the health worker knew about the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention or how he located the information on its site. These changes to the basic story help the audience connect to it and, more importantly, give them a context in which they can make the story their own.
