It is not so bad. and I definitely do not feel offended or even close to.
Many languages have very interesting words which go far beyond true/false
untrue/not false/ correct/incorrect right/left/lie
Thus saying many languages can not match to other langunages meaning of simple
true/false right/left/lie 1:1
And even if they can, there remain cases which only native speaker can
recognize.
Thus saying, I was wrong write down driver, where I meant firmware. I was wrong
and am happy for correction.
It was sure form begining that this proposal will rise emotions - some one
wrote it perfectly: clash of cultures. And will take bilions of liens to
explain.
And where it indeed rised a lot of emotions, lets leave the language details,
and lets turn back to topic.
Still thanx a lot alle, ven for this part language corner part. it was
educative.

It generally means and is interpreted as 'not true with the intention of

The Oxford English Dictionary gives the following answer:
lie (noun) - an intentionally false statement
used with reference to a situation involving deception or founded on a
mistaken impression
Exactly. So, you implied malicious intent where there was none.
