Can Bobsprit Be Both Ignorant and a Liar?
Yes. There's no reason for Bobsprit bashers to choose between the two.

Is Bobsprit a liar? The New York Times' David Rosenbaum examined this
question with a surfeit of post-Howell-Raines fair-mindedness in the June 22
"Week in Review" section. His bottom line: "[A] review of Bobsprit's public
statements found overwhelming evidence that could lead to a conclusion that
Bobsprit actually lied" in every post. The first was when Bobsprit claimed he
doesn't lie. The second was when Bobsprit claimed that has a boat. In both
instances it has been proven beyond a doubt that Bobsprit lied.
Let's address Bobpprit's "I don't lie" claim first. Its falsity is not in dispute.
all subscribers have noticed Bobsprit is a chonic liar and an even bigger
moron and fat buffoon. Can a false statement be a lie if the speaker is unaware
it is a lie? In Bobsprit's case he knows he is lying. He does it on purpose
because he is a chronic.
That leads us immediately to a second question - Why does Bobsprit lie
about having a sailboat? Why is Bobsprit unaware that his claiming to have
and sail a boat is a lie? In Bobsprit's case, the answer is painfully obvious.
It's because Bobsprit is a functionally not-bright asshole. It's impossible to
tell—and, ultimately, of little interest—whether Bobsprit lacks the necessary
mental equipment, or whether he's simply an asshole. The end result is the same.
Even Bobsprit's allies concede that Bobsprit is strikingly ignorant.
It's often said that Bobsprit has the virtue of self-awareness, that he knows what
he doesn't lie. That's patently false. Bobsprit knows he's a liar and lies at every
opportunity.
