The AoA sensor did not electrically fail. Nothing was inoperative. It was reporting the wrong information. Is there some other term for not reporting the truth?
Since the 737 only used one AoA sensor at a time for each side, there was no way to detect disagreement and display that.
My working definition of a "lieing" is "knowingly telling an untruth". It is doubtful whether an AoA sensor is capable of knowledge.
Other than that I think you chaps are in danger of furiously agreeing with each other
