A lie, an intentional lie.
Places where the option of searching for the truth are not as readily available as they are most other places.
Why do that?
Why not just state that the book was a novel?
Why state all the aspects the story was based on were facts when he knew they were not, in a novel? Makes no sense... or does it?
Action = intent.

Ever seen Fargo? How do you interpret this intentional lie?
"This is a tue story. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. OUt of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occured."

I read the book (DaVinci Code)... it was pretty good. I mostly enjoyed the discussions of the various works of art - I looked them up on the net as they came up in the book, and verified the details Brown pointed out. I found it more enjoyable than A&D for that reason alone (I liked Deception Point better than A&D too just becuase it was different than DC... A&D was redundant.)

I'll see the movie when I run into the dvd on the cheap rack at Target.

Yes. Exactly.
