"wrong" is not how you spell "a lie". Wrong is accidental. This is deliberate and calculated.

Wrong is just "not right". A lie is a knowingly wrongful statement. So it is " wrong" but most definitely also a "lie"

No, wrong is simply neutral and can mean both.

Which doesn't mean you aren't right on principle: we should be more precise and call it the lie it is.
