If it is later proven false, but the teller believed it at the time, I suppose one could argue about it technically being called a lie. If NASA tells us there is water on Mars, because spectrographic analysis blah blah indicates there is a reasonably high probability what is being observed is evidence of water, and then we send astronauts to Mars and there is no water... ...did NASA lie? No, they were just mistaken based on the evidence that was available. A lie would be Nasa having every reason to believe there was NO water on Mars, but saying otherwise. Creative interpretation of "lie" Marshall has going. He seems to be doing a bit of projection, though, because he engages in quite the distortion himself. Derek
