Dave,
the fact remains that without Steve's intervention the false claim would have remained.

Obviously I could not correct something if I did not know needed correction, but it did not require an "intervention" falsely accusing me of lying.
I had no need to lie about what Wheatcroft said. He was on my side.

Drawing a slip to someone's attention is quite different to such an "intervention."

I do not play games.
It is a simple, unequivocal fact that I have only spoken of an over-representation and that is factually correct.
Why did you lie I had said more?
Your shitty morality allows you to lie for your own nasty, devious purposes.
Immoral liar.
