I think "lie" should not only refer to "bold-faced lies", but all lies. I also think it's important to distinguish between differnt types of lies.

... If I truly believe that, then it’s not a lie

that's an honest lie

you can even say the truth while lying. e.g. lying by omission, or using Weasel word. Wikipedia has a list (because of course they do)
