I did post the entire question. I'd tell you to blame vt_andros, except in his current state he'd probably commit seppuku. And you're talking about the truth value of his statement, not whether or not it was a lie.
The director's statement is still valid, and using your own arguments the applicant asked a misleading question in the first place (not that I believe in approaching the problem that way).
This is the crux of the disagreement. The question asked was whether or not he lied. That is not wholly contingent on the truth value of the statement, which is certainly true.
