    Even if that is the most common “interpretation”, it’s already been explained how that is not actually part of his words, but you’ve done nothing to refute that except double-down on baseless assertions. Innumerable riddles, mind-benders, word games, and garden-path sentences demonstrate how inaccurate the first or most common interpretation of a statement can be. You say he is responsible for his words but blame him for others’ misunderstandings of them. And to keep track of the goalposts, it isn’t lying if you say one thing and someone else misinterprets that to mean something else you didn’t say, even if you weren’t flawless in your original phrasing.

      That dishonest. It s like me saying 1+1 = 3 and I’m right without telling any of my conception or what is the context of it

        He is saying 1+1, then you are adding your own +1 to get 3 and calling him a liar because it’s not 2. That’s all there is to it. What sort of “conception” or “context” are you going to add that puts words in his mouth instead of your own?
