> You're right, this will go nowhere because you're trying to have a semantics argument while also being wrong about the semantics you're trying to correct. Yikes. Okay. You goaded me into replying. About lies and opinions: If you said something factually incorrect that you nevertheless believed to be true at the time, you were not lying. That is why it can't be a lie when you say something that you honestly believe (i.e. your opinion). Now it might be that "Lie" means something different in your culture, but in the English language it means "[..] an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie). Here's a good article on the matter: https://philosophynow.org/issues/27/The_Truth_about_Lying https://philosophynow.org/issues/27/The_Truth_about_Lying Now whether I lied when I said I would not reply is for you to figure out.
