“A fabrication is a lie told when someone submits a statement as truth, without knowing for certain whether or not it actually is true.”
correct
but it is not
A fabrication is a truth told when someone submits a statement as truth, without knowing for certain whether or not it actually is true.
and speaking of “forgetting” to quote the whole line
The definition of fabrication (again a type of lie, NOT a type of truth) contiues … ” it is not based on fact. Rather, it is something made up, or it is a misrepresentation of the truth.”
You seem confused as to how defitnions work. you cant just splice out one phrase and if that fits then the definition holds
Lets see how my truthful statement “The supreme court will dismiss the case as moot ” compares to the definition .
Here is the entire defitnion:
A fabrication is a lie told when someone submits a statement as truth, without knowing for certain whether or not it actually is true. Although the statement may be possible or plausible, it is not based on fact. Rather, it is something made up, or it is a misrepresentation of the truth.
“A fabrication is a lie told when someone submits a statement as truth,” – No My statement was NOT a lie
” without knowing for certain whether or not it actually is true. ” – Yes I wasn’t certain it would be correct, though I was close to certain, and by Jan 18 I was near certain
“Although the statement may be possible or plausible, it is not based on fact.” – No my statement was based on fact
” Rather, it is something made up, or it is a misrepresentation of the truth.” – No my statement was not a misrepresentation of the truth.
So even if the sentence ” without knowing for certain whether or not it actually is true” holds up, NONE of the other 3 do.
