[Galaxy Quest] How did the Thermians not learn about lying and fiction from Galaxy Quest?

Assuming it's like the real star trek, there would be dozens of episodes where the villains lied, the heroes lied, everyone lied. And there would be plenty of references to fiction- books, films, tv, etc. 

And even if it was completely different, what show *never* has lies or fiction brought up as a concept?

It just seems odd that they went through this entire show, enough to build their culture around it, and never noted that people said false things or told false stories.

They literally have no concept of lying prior to meeting Sarris.  That doesn't mean they don't understand people can just be wrong.  Anytime someone lied, they just assumed that they were mistaken, because they couldn't comprehend lying, even when they see someone admit to lying.

It's not until they actually get lied to by Sarris (repeatedly) that they start to get an understanding of it, and it only ever REALLY clicks when Nesmith explains it.
