Three days over a weekend, though. Context matters. Even if it's the most critical incident, you can't force employees to work outside of business hours.
That makes no difference as to when the three days where. I never made any claims as to why it's late or them lying. I merely clarified that the three days were over a period where people don't usually work.
'Lie' is indeed a strong term, informally suggesting an intent to deceive. Personally, I would suspect negligence and incompetence rather than deceit, but negligence is a serious matter here.
Given the general crappiness of the CA industry, my first instinct is to say they willfully said "yeah we support it" without actually doing it first, knowing that it wasn't actually done.
