I cannot tell the difference- so I can't tell a lie from a big mistake. I've said this before, and I'll say it again- I'm not sure having terrible judgment because you utterly believed in your cause is better than lying. It may, actually, be worse. One assumes the liar knows he is lying- because intent is a prerequisite for a lie, and that the liar has some reason for lying. The person who is just making a terrible error may not be curable, while a liar is. Of course you could have lying and terrible erros going together- they often do- and that's no comfort. Just my thoughts on the matter. I wasn't being charitable when I said it wasn't a lie- I actually think what may have happened is worse.
