It is probably not a 'lie', but it isn't necessarily true either.
I studied psychology at uni' for 1 year. There was a professor there who gave a lecture on studies he'd conducted on the image impression we see after we close our eyes (if you stare at an image and then close your eyes you see an imprint of what you were looking at. 'After-pictures', he called them).
Adults see them as negative. He claimed that young children saw them as colour positives (when they close their eyes they see a colour imprint exactly as how they saw it in reality). I don't believe they saw this at all, I think they just didn't understand the tests they were given, or understand what they were being asked.
Anyway these studies must have been submitted to the appropriate people, and then accepted, and then published as scientific fact.
Scientific 'facts' can always be called into question.
