It doesn't matter whether you wanted people to be misled. coppro intentionally published a false statement, and there is no evidence e was unaware that it would mislead people. Compare my scam distribution and the statement about the empty proposal pool, which I would surely have been convicted for had I sent the distribution knowing it would contain that statement.
