An inconsistency in a particular episode that has always bothered me goes
back to "I, Mudd", the one with Norman and the 300,000 Androids.

One of the gems of logic that the gang uses to overwhelm the Androids is:

     Kirk: "Everything Harry Mudd tells you is a lie."
     Mudd: "Norman, I am lying now."

This blows Norman away!  It seems to me that the flaw in the logic is what
if Kirk is lying?

Comments?
(be kind--this is my first effort)
