I kind of figured you would go this route - anything that is later changed or addressed ("an error") becomes technically not a lie to begin with. It's why I tried to avoid something like an unverified claim, because the same could be said.. even though the story gets originally printed without the writers/networks actually having a clue as to whether it's true or not.
Anything
technically can be framed as a mistake. If I say, "Hey, I just saw discostu murder an entire family" .. and then come back a month from now and say I made a mistake .. then I was never lying to begin with. Just one of those daggum mistakes.
