"UPDATE - The Intricacies of a Defense..."

     Referencing misspoke and lying, I read an article by Alfred P. Doblin who was trying to clarify the distinction between the two intricacies of one's defense, should one find him/herself having to defend one's spoken word.
  Misspoke, according to Mr. Doblin, occurs when one unknowingly [...one doesn't have all the facts...] represents the truth.
  Lying, on the other hand, refers to one's knowing the facts are false but still professes them to be the truth.
  So, it appears, that ignorance is a defense!
