There is a difference between people who deliberately lie and those that innocently misrepresent the truth. A deliberate lie is based on dishonesty whereas an innocent misrepresentation is usually just someone’s own interpretation of the truth. This can be seen in many history books where the author declares that they are providing a truthful version of an event but if you listen to ten different people recounting that same event each version will be different in accordance with that persons point of view.
