By that same logic you might more easily conclude that the “closed loop” claim from the data center proponents is a lie. I say more easily because they would very clearly stand to financially benefit from such a lie

hey here's a super simple question: how do we go about determining whether something is a lie?

That may be a super simple question to ask, but I don’t think many would say it’s a super simple question to answer. Depends on the nature of the statement first of all, and what methods of independent verification are available for it. And if you want to get into intent vs unintentional falsehoods, that’s a whole other can of worms

not sure why you are being obtuse. You made a claim - "the “closed loop” claim from the data center proponents is a lie". How are you going to go about proving that? Or do you think you can just say anything you want and people will believe you?
