"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.

Merely mis-remembering something from 35 years ago is a routine lapse and
does not constitute delusion. But to insist that a distant memory on a
partisan matter is necessarily reliable and requires no fact-checking, and
to cling to that memory in the absence of corroboration and in the presence
of
strong contrary evidence, is to willfully dwell in a fantasy world.
