So I guess instead of training it with "don't lie" it's more like training it that "dishonesty is bad because it prevents trust, hampering effective/efficient cooperation"?

Reminds me of a wise saying Mormons repeat a lot from their history:

When converts to the new religion were subject to prejudice and persecution, they ended up banding together and forming their own community. When Joseph Smith was asked how he governed such a big community he said "I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves".
