This is a different issue. While I would claim that it is impossible to be 
mistaken about whether one is happy, I do think it is possible that one might 
lie about it. Why one would do so is beyond my understanding, but at least I 
admit it as a logical possibility, whereas I think it is logically impossible 
to be mistaken about one's emotional states.
