CMV: Lying is an intentional masking of the truth of your intent. It is not saying one thing then doing another.

For example, it is not lying to deliver a speech on your expectations for a final product, and then fail to deliver on those expectations. Product design rarely meets expectations and the design goals necessarily change over the development cycle. This is an instance of changing your mind. The accusation assumes the customer is entitled to the original artistic vision of the author, rather than the product described in final product reviews.

It is lying if you have a product, and purposefully tell people it does things it does not do, in full knowledge of your misrepresentation, in order to make a profit.

It is not lying to make a political speech about your political agenda, get elected, and then change your agenda, unless you personally were misrepresenting your intentions at the moment of the speech. For instance, presidential candidates gain lots of new information upon taking office that we have no clue of, and they had no clue of. It is not lying if you change your mind but had no intention of doing so at the time.

Unfortunately this definition makes deceit hard to prove, but I'm really just tired of the victimization and the defamation of people on the internet based on insufficient data.

People don't think it's lying when you promise something and then can't deliver.

But, people do find your CONFIDENCE or CERTAINTY deceptive, if that was part of the tone of your initial announcement.
