There are no “intentional” lies, because there are no “unintentional” lies.
All lies are intentional. An “unintentional lie” is better known as “being wrong”.
Being wrong isn’t always lying. What’s so hard about this? An example:
My wife once asked me if I had taken the trash out to the curb, and I said I had. This was demonstrably false, anyone could see I had not. Yet for whatever reason, I mistakenly believed that I had done it. I did not lie to her. I really believed I had done it. I was wrong.
