Not to butt in, but if someone says something untrue, they are a liar. If I accused Amazon of killing babies, that would be a lie (I hope?), and you wouldn't be being defensive by calling me out for it.

Strictly speaking, it has to be knowingly untrue for it to be a lie. It is possible to just be wrong.

For the record, everything I said was true, and after calling me a liar, he effectively admitted it!
