I would suspect that they are a version of the truth. I was involved in a court case and some of the questions the attorneys ask are just silly. I know there is a procedure to follow but it is so tedious and redundant that its difficult to stay serious. At one point I made some crack as well, can't remember what I said but later, my attorney told me that although I was correct, to "turn it down". He giggled and so did the other attorney.
