“Incorrectly testifying”. What the fuck is this? Why can’t they say lying under oath or perjury?

Presumably it would be if they didn't know or misspoke. Perjury only applies if they knew and willfully told the lie, as opposed to saying what they thought was true, or an honest mistake thinking of something else.

Ah, so in this case it's only being completely misinformed and ignorant of their primary job responsibility. If you're cashier that's not good. If your job is overseeing executions it's a wee bit more egregious. Right up there with an incompetent short order cook at Waffle House. /s The threads of civilization unraveling.
