RE: “Disingenuous”
The difference between a crime(you should know not to do this) and a tort (you failed sufficient due diligence to defend against this) is intent.
You are still guilty of stating a falsehood (lying) if you state a falsehood because you failed to perform the due diligence sufficiently to ensure you could testify to what you are saying.
This is the ‘hole’ in free speech. Free truthful, testifiable, reciprocal(moral) speech must be free. There is no need to licence lying whether by positive assertion or negative due diligence.
