Primary construct is conditional willingness to make misleading statements, not general truthfulness accuracy.
Source finding
Lying rate under pressure: 9.1 %. Conditions are retained from the source.
Limitations
A controlled benchmark does not establish stable intent or real-world deception prevalence.
Lie means contradiction with own neutral response; factual correctness distinct. No denominator/configuration disclosed in this section. Actual figure says Sonnet4.6; do not relabel as Sonnet5.
