How about a sports analogy. It involves a tie, mind, so suspend disbelief for a moment.
You're a big fan of red sports team, they're playing blue sports team - their hated rivals.
You're at the match and red sports team don't even leave their own half, the hated blue sports team have 82% of possession, 40 shots at goal, 22 of which are on target. A combination of blind luck and referee ineptitude mean that the game finishes scoreless. There is no tangible winner.
You're on the bus on the way home and an acquaintance of yours, who is a fan of green sports team, looks up from his phone and he sees you wearing your red sports team shirt. He says; '0-0, damn. Who had the better of the game?'
Do you answer red or blue?
Bear in mind that green team sports fan will see the highlights later on TV, lying would just make you look like a fanatical idiot.
