I strongly stand by my subject line. You could go further and say that the
article I /did/ link to contains neither proof nor references. How do we
know the whole thing isn't made up? That's right. We have trust and we
assume that the reporter /studied/ the facts before writing the article.
Likewise, I read two article, gathered the facts, and posted based on what I
know. Unless what I read was inaccurate, the subject line is true. Is
suspect that the trolls try to change the English language and redefine the
word "lie". Microsoft did the same thing recently, and was harshly accused
for it. It changed the definition of "contradiction" in order to usher OOXML
(the broken 'monopoly enabler'). It also did a spin on "Vista-ready".
