Your “original point” was that I was lying to my daughter by not coming up with unreasonable alternatives even though she clearly knew what I meant and understood what I was saying.
Sorta, I just meant that yeah you were lying because the actual reason was convenience. As for the specials example, I’m not sure it really worked (or you didn’t properly work it out), since in that case the special was actually special in some form. If you meant that it wasn’t actually special in any way but I was expected to know it wasn’t supposed to be, it would be closer, in that it would also be lying.’
What was the omission you talked about earlier btw?
Yes, and the reason to not beat clothes with a rock by the stream and put them in the washer instead is convenience, but my daughter knows that when I tell her, “if you don’t put clothes in the wash, you’ll have to wear stinky clothes,” it isn’t a lie, even though she understands that, if she wanted to, she could go out to the stream in the middle of February, break through the ice for the water, get a rock and start beating on the clothes.
I mean the explanation is not 100% true in the sense that it’s not the actual reason, but if she isn’t supposed to believe it then it’s not a lie in that sense, if you require intent. Not all definitions do, so it still could be a lie.
Are you saying you give someone your contentious opinion, an opinion that implies via the context of the discussion before you butted in that my daughter is stupid and I’m a liar, when it has no relevance? That sort of sounds like trolling to me.
I didn’t imply anything about your daughter. I was thinking you might be a bit simple since the sink think was so hard for you but it might’ve been something else too, so I don’t necessary think that. Not sure where I implied you are a liar, I think you implied that about me but I don’t remember doing it back. Could be I forgot.
I just mentioned how what you said was lying. It was imo relevant in that discussion. For my opinions, I’m not sure which ones you mean. I hope you found them relevant but they were really just additional comments brought on by the discussion. I thought they were relevant.
Oh and no, I’m not trolling. I try to answer your questions as best I can. You are asking about this stuff and I’m always not sure of the relevance, but I hope you don’t think I’m a troll just for answering.

Again, it wasn’t convenience if she understood the context.
Why are you not getting that?
I was saying the reason to put the dishes away is convenience, not that dishes literally couldn’t be washed otherwise.
Yes, and the reason to not beat clothes with a rock by the stream and put them in the washer instead is convenience, but my daughter knows that when I tell her, “if you don’t put clothes in the wash, you’ll have to wear stinky clothes,” it isn’t a lie, even though she understands that, if she wanted to, she could go out to the stream in the middle of February, break through the ice for the water, get a rock and start beating on the clothes.
Because she’s not a fucking idiot.

I don’t know enough to comment on that
I don’t consider it a lie. She doesn’t consider it a lie. Only you consider it a lie.
Why does your opinion on the matter have any relevance?
Me and some definitions of the word, correct.
I mean, does it?
