I wasn't saying anything about you making exceptions for yourself. If that is what you took away then you missed the point.
You said that you couldn't think of an example of a time that you changed your mind. I was giving you a common example of changing ones mind which I thought might apply to you, and based on your response, it does.
From there, you need to decide if you feel you were lying when you believed in Santa Clause, or just incorrect because you were relying on false information. If you were just incorrect, than that would be a time when you changed your mind about something, but never lied with your original belief.
You do make a good point.
I would say I have had incorrect ideas due to being lied to.
Still if I were to have told others my incorrect ideas, it would still technically be a lie.
Technically, it would not be a lie because, by definition, a lie requires intent to deceive. But you may still feel that you lied.
Either way, that is in respect to sharing the information, not about changing your mind. It still wouldn't change that fact that, and based on your last response I think you agree with this, you can believe one thing, but than change your mind when receive new information without lying.
I don't see any difference between lying and changing your mind.

Just because you form an opinion based on lies, doesn't make it not yours.
You had an opinion, you realized it was based on false information, and you changed it.
That doesn't mean you were lying yourself.
