That's not what fraud means. If that were fraud, then any lie to anyone would be fraud.

  > If that were fraud, then any lie to anyone would be fraud. Not really, unintentional and/or harmless lies wouldn't be fraud. > That's not what fraud means. Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you?

    >Not really, unintentional and/or harmless lies wouldn't be fraud. Yes really. Intentional or unintentional lies to anyone would be considered fraud if we go by your ideas. >Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you? It's not what it means according to me, it's the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud". Changing or redacting documents without the intention of defrauding is by definition not fraud. QED.

      > Intentional or unintentional lies to anyone would be considered fraud if we go by your ideas. It seems you’ve misunderstood my earlier comment. > the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud" Defining “fraud” with “defraud” feels a bit circular.
