Noone has said Aragorn is lying. The thread is discussing Tolkien's use of language which is quite important in a literary work: particularly perhaps in one written by a professor of Philology.

I have just finished re-reading The Hobbit and noted the same sentence as Esty did! Was just coming here to point it out but I find she got there first.
 Ah well. Makes sense to me all the same!
