Linguistically dozens of cases is vague less then 200 and definitively less then 1000, because then it would be hundreds of cases. Through there is no legal requirement for the statement to be true in any form or way. Even if they would have explicitly said less then 50 cases, it's not a constraint in the law, so it's meaningless. Through see my other comment for why even if that statement is fully true in a linguistic sense it still is very bad.

>"[Though] there is no legal requirement for the statement to be true [...]" This is a major flaw in Western democracies. A person acting for the government, making a statement that the public would see as official, should be bound by law to tell the truth; or at least not lie nor commit deception. People like UK ex-PM Johnson are effectively committing treasonous fraud, by lying to the public, and getting off scot-free.

  ...Enforcement would require a DA to levy criminal charges against the person in question... Do you see the problem here?
