No, no; what I’m saying is that it’s probably not fair to consider it lying. Even if the kid was clearly not where he says he was, or saw what he says he saw. The human brain struggles when it is shown something that has no explanation, it will try to construct a feasible scenario to explain it. It’s probably semantics, but if the kid completely believes that is what they saw, I don’t think you can accuse them of lying.
