Yes and the thing dictionaries describe is the definitions of words. Since we’re talking about the definition of lying, that’s where the dictionary becomes relevant here.

it is interesting that you lept to that conclusion. That is something a narcissist would do, but I don’t know you so I’ll definitely not calling you that.

I… really don’t know what your problem is. It’s possible to have a civil discussion without throwing around implications like that. Especially if it’s about the frigging definition of a word.

Dictionaries are descriptive not prescriptive, so not sure how that’s relevant in this discussion.

OP asked if something is a lie, so the definition of a lie is what’s relevant to answer this question. OP did not ask for a moral judgement.
