A false assertion is a lie even if nobody asserts it.

Not at all. The base meaning of {lie} requires intentional
deception.

That may be its base meaning but the full meaning includes
all false statements. The statement itself does not change
when someone states it so there is no clear advantage in
saying that the statement was not a lie until someone stated
it.

The term "lie" is to only be applied to intentionally

not having intentional deceit <is> itself intentional deceit.

Richard has said that he does not mean intentional

 Because the word doesn't just mean intential deciet.
 And you are an intentional liar to say it only means that, as you have been shown the definition.
 

Unless you always qualify you use of the term "liar" as
{unintentional falsity} it is the kind of defamation suit
that you will lose because the communication process always
assumes the primary meaning of a term unless otherwise specified.
You can't even correctly say that my statements are false.
The most that you can accurately say is that my statements
are inconsistent with conventional opinions.

IF you won't accept the truth, then you become the classical case of the pathological liar that lies because he can not tell the difference between truth and lies, and speaks with a reckless disreguard for the truth.
