So someone can tell whatever he wants without taking care of the
truth?

I don't support that and I suppose I'll never do.

The matter to me is not how people looks like but what people
says. And in this case, there were two options: a misinformation or a
lie. With a so affirmative phrase, it is some kind of lie in any case:
when you are not well informed, if you pretend to be, you commit some
kind of lie, and your attitude is misleading for everybody.
