That statement does not make senses. I was not speaking of "intentionality" - I could care less about intention - somebody claimed the Wells piece contained lies and I asked them to point out the lies and reminded them of the definition of lie.
Intention has nothing to do with whether or not a statement is a lie.
OK - that did not come out right - intention, other than the intention to deceive - have nothing to do with whether or not a statement is a lie.
