The liar can try all they want to live in the delisuion that  they they have "x" on their side. The truth has a funny way of catching up with people no matter how one tries to "be good".

I don't understand how that follows from what I said. Where does the "because" come from?

Without the relevance of intentions there are no lies. Lying is intentional deception. Falsehood is not the same as lying. Being honestly mistaken is believing in a falsehood: lying is intentionally pretending to believe what one does not and speaking contrary to what one believes regardless of what the actual truth and falsehood actually is. Lying is necessarily intentional by definition.

There are lies that accidentally become true and there are falsehoods that are honestly mistaken.

That is the truth. Both factually and in all honesty.
