If I call you Mr. Obama it may be misleading but it doesn’t constitute a “lie” to address you as such.
Fair enough. Lie is the wrong word to use. But so is misleading. The correct word to use is “incorrect.” I am not Mr. Obama — and I am not a Rabbi. Stating that I am Mr. Obama or a rabbi is simply incorrect.
My words, on the other hand, while possibly misleading, are correct.
