No, that wasn’t the lie. From the horse’s mouth:
“I was intentionally pretending we had another offer, and he detected it.”

My point is the irony of feeling bad and learning a lesson about being completely honest when caught by a master famed for "reality distortion". Reality distortion is almost literally truth stretching. No doubt the master of doing it was a master at detecting it, but that didn't mean he was deeply committed to the truth himself. He was deeply committed to and famously skilled at manipulating but not being manipulated, which is not at all the same thing.

It is not about "someone who was convinced his company was worth more" being called a liar for saying he "knew" it.
