- hellbannedguy 6y agoI think that might be the only way.
- cutemonster 6y agoUnless the suspect was misinformed or misunderstood some questions / interpreted differently
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoNone of those things are lying, tho.
- mitchdoogle 6y agoThere's no difference to an observer. If you tell me you saw a white car in a parking lot and video footage shows a blue car, there's no way to know if you were lying or mistaken/misremembering.
- swayvil 6y agoThat means making personal observations and/or consulting various witnesses and authorities. Now convenience and reliability are issues. Also maybe intelligibility.
- silexia 6y agoHow to tell if someone is lying: do they have something to gain by lying? Are they a politician? Are they a celebrity? Do they have a history of lying? The more yes answers to the above, the more likely the person is lying to you.
- golergka 6y agoSaying something that is false and lying are not the same thing.
- jonathanstrange 6y agoTrue, but knowingly saying something false is always lying.
