This is a really funny comment, but the original comment wasn't wrong. With the knowledge at the time, believing the sun went around the earth was the reasonable take as you could see the sun rise and settle across the sky and the earth didn't feel like it was moving.
Aristotle was not trying to mislead anyone the way you do when you lie. He was just ignorabt of the information we have now or he would have supported the heliocentric theory given the tools and data we have now.
So aristotle did not lie, he spoke the truth as he was able to exoress it with what was known at the time.
Granted truth is unuversal, a lie requires knowing the truth or some element of it and intentionally speaking otherwise to deceive.
Must be an attorney.

Not disputing it what so ever, I agree.
Just sayin, if "Sliver" is not an attorney, they should be!
Hahaha ahhh gotcha!
I'm a scientist. I've been studying the laws of nature and arguing our interpretation of them for a long time.
So kinda like a lawyer, only I have less money and more integrity (I like to think).
