Liars should be called out, necessarily. Intellectual dishonesty is cancer. I could be more aggressive if it were something that really mattered.

Lying requires intent to deceive. How have you determined their intent?
> Lying requires intent to deceive
Since when do we ask people to guess other people's intent when they have better things to show, which is called evidence?
Surely we should talk about things with substantiated matter?
Because there’s a meaningful difference between being wrong and lying.
There’s evidence the statement was false, no evidence it was a lie.
When someone says:
> Oh, and of course, they don't just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don't give a single flying fuck about robots.txt, because why should they.
Their self righteous indignation and specificity of the pretend subject of that indignation precludes any doubt about intent.
This guy made a whole public statement that is verifiably false. And then tried to toddler logic it away when he got called out.
That may all be true. That still doesn’t mean they intentionally lied.
