No, that is a lie. Intent is all that matters. You can’t excuse your own lying by telling yourself your lies are for a good cause.
No, you have zero sincerity. If you were sincere, you would eagerly examine evidence and learn instead of regurgitating hearsay and Gish Galloping.
Your opinion of that is irrelevant to the definition. Your intent to deceive, however, is very clear.
Now you know the motives of others with whom you’ve never interacted! How do you know that? On my side, I didn’t accuse you of lying until I was certain, after multiple tests.
You’ve never met them but know what they are thinking. Sure, Lee, just keep telling yourself that.
So you lie about lies having to be “malicious,” while you tell yourself that you’re not malicious, making your intentional deceptions justified. Neat!
Nice Freudian slip!
