Information isnt Advocacy
Instead of "lying", would it not be more polite to say "misinformed"?
It might be polite but then I would be lying. He was not misinformed since I originally referenced the source of my information.
Lying is when you state something you know to be untrue. I think that applies here.
Well, I'd argue that he obviously never read the referenced material and is then, still misinformed.
You're lying.
Captain Kirk: Harry lied to you, Norman. Everything Harry says is a lie. Remember that, Norman. *Everything* he says is a lie.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now I want you to listen to me very carefully, Norman. I'm... lying.
Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because you always lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human; only humans can explain! Illogical!
