| One point I will correct you on is what the definition of a lie is. You state: "...I have caught two people lying now. They are deliberately trying to
make their own points stronger by telling untruths. NissanGTR said he
knew it wasn't Robo's belt that broke (as did I) but he claimed it did
anyway. And what started this all was the false claim that "My manual
says 60k or 5 years" when anybody reading the manual (and not
manufacturing numbers) can see it isn't true. They both very clearly
intended to make stronger points than they could have by telling the truth.
And that's lying." That's not lying, it may be embellishing, but it's not lying, (Embellish: to
heighten the attractiveness of by adding decorative or fanciful details) but to tell you the truth, I (and I would wager, most of the others that have
contributed to this thread) don't think either one of them knowingly said
those things with the intent to deceive someone. I think they both believed
them to be true when they said them. Unintentionally misstating information
is not lying. It's a mistake. Not sure why you are taking this whole thing so personally. You've stated
what the manual says and your position on when the belt should be
changed. Many disagree. Leave it at that.
