It is a fact that is undetermined and cannot be determined. Lying requires intent.
past tense
lied
past participle
lied
to deliberately say something that is not true
So if you say something about it, that statement would fall into the categories of argument or opinion. Does that make it a question of fact, or one of opinion? Well, you can email that question to any number of 1L gunners. Seems quite immaterial to me.
(And I'm not even sure I called it a question of opinion. Maybe I did, but I think that's your term.)
