Here is another one of my favorite quotes from the special double issue of Bloomberg Businessweek on computer coding. This one reminds us that in coding, as in any other industry, quality work is always appreciated and admired (Paul Ford, “The Code Issue”, 6/15/15–6/28/15, p. 94):

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy.

My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
