You've hit the nail on the head. Reckless disregard of the truth is just as liability-inducing as knowingly making a false statement. "Personal truth", i.e. subjective belief in the truth of the statement is no defense if the statement is made with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the statement.

Is it possible that Spidey and Rico are actually W.J. Clinton? <ggg>
