Because many people in practice seem to believe that words must have the one and only meaning they deem them to have, I would think that some rather mean people take advantage of their knowledge of that fact and from layman's point of view the resulting confusion may not be desirable to those who feel that they have been targeted... hence the more normal definition of a lie which is full of angst and recrimination...
but maybe there is some truth to the idea that if you don't find your relationship with words so stifled as to idolize them for their one true meaning, you might get a chance to get a better idea of what truth looks like...
