""The salesman tells you that he "knows" the car "doesn't burn oil."

He's lying if he knows that the car does burn oil.

He's also lying if he doesn't know whether the car is burning oil....He's NOT lying if he has information which a reasonable person would accept as proving that the car did not burn oil."


So if his mechanic just told him that the car doesn't burn oil, then he's not lying?

And what if he's the President of the United States, and the head of the CIA just told him that there was a "slam-dunk" case for Saddam's WMDs?
