Entirely personally, I see no reason to do so in any case.  He is quite
often impolite in response to being called a "stupid liar" or similar,
but that's understandable.  He is no worse than many a student in terms
of what he comprehends;  his fault lies in [apparently] believing that he
has a unique insight.

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

Not at all. The base meaning of {lie} requires intentional
deception. If you don't mean that base meaning when everyone
else will take it as the base meaning then calling something
a "lie" were no intention is meant is itself a deception.
Proposing a hypothetical possibility is never even a false
statement saying otherwise is incorrect.
It is fair to say that you believe that I am incorrect when
your basis is what you believe to be the received view.
It is incorrect for you to definitely say that I am incorrect
because this implies under every possible basis.
Calling me a liar is way to far over the top. It destroys
your own credibility.
