A good rule of thumb for whether or not a society or class is actually "Noble" is if they view telling the truth as a virtue worth of itself. It's underestimated how rare truth is viewed as a virtue, most people's (so called Brahmins included) view lie as just a tool in the will to power arsenal, and if they lie better than you discern they win. Basically only in the pre-WW2 West and Japan is telling the truth the path to higher status..
