"Lying" is, unfortunately, completely open to interpretation. If you use a standard of "knowingly false, and intended to deceive", it's possibly too broad actually and would cover some behaviour that I would consider acceptable. For example: - "Fake" buttons on pedestrian crossings. These are sometimes employed to give a sense of agency, and thus lessen frustration, but where the information that someone is waiting cannot be used in timing, or where that information is collected through other means anyway. – "Beware shark attacks" at a beach, when the reasoning is not to keep people of a property, but when there are certain dangers that often kill (dangerous tide etc.), but any attempt to succinctly explain it was fruitless.
