"Lying" presupposes the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. Your
blithe dismissal of the need for corroboration (which would be readily
available in this instance if your recollection were accurate) shows that
you don't even try to distinguish the truth from whatever you would like
to believe.

Ah, so I am not a liar, merely delusional. So, if a guy says he was fighting
in Cambodia in 1968 and listening to a Christmas broadcast by President
Nixon, is he a liar or delusional? And do you want his finger on the nuclear
trigger?
