So the question is: is EY lying?

His behavior was certainly consistent with him believing Roko's argument.

Lying is consistent with a lot of behavior. The fact that it is, is no basis to accuse people of lying.

I'm not accusing, I'm asking the question.

My point is that to my knowledge, given the evidence that I have about his beliefs at that time, and his actions, and assuming that I'm not misunderstanding them or Roko's argument, then it seems that there is a significant probability that EY lied about not beliving that Roko's argument was correct.
