billcap: "Actually, if you note, I called you on the "largely" which implies mostly or a majority."
Ah, so you admit you're just being tediously literal.
billcap: "I also haven't disputed you on the two items as "false", just your characterization of them as necessarily "lies". The one does not automatically lead to the other."
So you admit they were false. Well that's something. Considering Clinton's obvious motives here, and considering the evasive way her campaign is handling this whole thing (saying she was "sleep deprived" and that she only "misspoke" that one time when it turns out this is part of a repeated pattern), my conclusion seems uncontroversial.
billcap: "They're not irrelevant if you state or imply that she is mostly lying or repeatedly lying."
At no point have I tried to say that every single sentence was a lie, just the ones in question.
billcap: "actually, [media accounts] don't [provide context], as my quote of today's media report shows where they cite her saying she remembers being told of the potential of fire as proof she's offered the story of actual fire before."
Actually, the media accounts are very thorough.
billcap: "Or how they say Sinbad disputes her without noting he also disputes himself, since he called it tense in contemporaneous interviews. Hardly the full context"
Sinbad called what tense? The greeting ceremony? Or the plane flight? Because we're not talking about whether the plane flight was tense. Sinbad is clear about where he differs with the account.
