  ram meqmey 
  Motives are insignificant. TKW

Klingons may not care whether a falsehood is intentional, but only whether the information is reliable. As Ambassador Kell admonished Worf, "Motives? Who cares for motives? Humans, perhaps." (TNG "The Mind's Eye") 

(KGT 154):  A close standard equivalent is {meq} (reason)--that is, logical thinking.
