The tragedy of this error is this: if a newspaper headline says SENATOR "LIED" IN COURT, meaning SOME UNNAMED PERSON CLAIMS THAT WHAT THE SENATOR SAID IN COURT WAS A LIE, half the population thinks it means THIS NEWSPAPER WANTS TO EMPHASISE THE UNDISPUTED FACT THAT THE SENATOR'S STATEMENT IN COURT WAS A LIE.
