It's easy to not be a liar - simply don't assert things that aren't certain to be true. Use "I think" or "to the best of my knowledge" or "I believe" instead of unequivocal statements of "fact". Something politicians are usually good at...
I believe you are miss interpreting or nuancing the intent of the definition.

I guess I should go back to all those tests I had and tell them that I lied and that I truely meant to place the accurate answer in the stead of the false or inaccurate answer I actually gave and therefore should have 100%?

Or did I make mistakes?
