No, I don't make that assumption. I call it lying in the sense that stock information is given in the hope that it will convince me to use one retailer over another (and for no other reason). If the retailer is wrong for whatever reason, they have duped me. Deliberately - they weren't required to make such a claim.
That's absolutely distinct from the library case, where I understand that this information is only being provided to me as a service for my benefit. The information is not designed to trick me, but to save time compared to always searching manually. Thanks, by the way.
