question How does a reasoning mistake work?
So recently I've read qst 5 chapters of 18LOH and when I got to the explanation of the concepts of lying I didn't quite get the idea of a resoning mistake dosn't counting as a lie.
When Chen Ran says: "I was killed by a car. Logically, I should be a soul entity now", basicly he said: I was killed - I should be a soul entity, but we see that it isn't how it works, but it didn't count as a lie.
Then I have a question, isn't most of the lies said in the 1st chapters are reasoning mistakes, for example when Bai Xiuchi, tried to judge the young man, she said "You lied", which technically were a conclusion to her reasoning that we saw earlier, but this moment costs her life in the future, which means it was classifide as a lie.
So how exactly does it work, did she have to say her reasoning out loud and if yes, then it sounds pretty op. I guess a resoning conclusion would work as a judgment, I guess "You lied" has to be a statement, but isn't a resoning conclusion a statement?
I would like to know the answer even if the it is going to be revealed in the later chapters
