You said it was already usable after I said that the link you posted showed that it was incomplete.

I.e: You made a claim that you didn’t know was true, but stated it as fact, even when you were asked to confirm it.

This is known as lying - saying something is true, when you don’t know it is true.

In this case I didn’t even call you on it - I just asked whether you were sure it was usable.

Your response was to immediately reply with a false statement.

A true answer would have been: “I don’t know, but I assume so because it has been announced.”

Because you do this, what you say simply cannot be taken at face value.

Says the guy who has been caught lying many times after he finally found a single time that I lied. Sure, buddy.
> Says the guy who has been caught lying many times

If this were true, you’d be able to link to an example of me intentionally stating a falsehood.

> after he finally found a single time that I lied

This is the single time you have confessed to lying.
