Speculation

Speculation is using your logic and reason to make an educated guess about whether something is true or false. If the logic and/or reasoning used in the thought process are flawed, the speculation may be incorrect. Many times instructors and masters will state speculation as being fact, not necessarily to mislead, but because the speculation has been stated so many times that it has taken on the appearance of fact. Sometimes speculation is not based upon any logic or reason, it exists only in the mind of the speculator.

Lies

Lies are purposeful statements of untruths. Some instructors and masters, for whatever reason, such as to hide their ignorance, make themselves seem important, or to take you money, will lie and hope not to be caught in the lie. Even if they are caught in a lie, they will deny it, try to obscure the facts, and change the subject, such as politicians do when they are caught in lies.

When an instructor or a master states something as being fact or as the truth, then that same person should be able to defend that statement against a corollary. If a master says that it is ki that permits him to lie on a bed of nails without being harmed, then a corollary would be that an ordinary person not using ki would probably be harmed if he or she lies on a bed of nails. Since it can be proven that—no one—will be harmed when lying on a bed of nails, this proves that the master's statement is false.
