Is this supposed to be some kind of “gotcha?”

Of course saying something you believe is true is not a lie. Of course. Why would you even bring up the possibility of it being a lie?

Nevermind a prediction cannot be a lie. Misleading perhaps, but not a lie.

I tend to not believe narrators who have a track record of bullshiting.
