I would say no. If you believe what you said, you're not lying.
There are grey areas here, like levels of confidence in our knowledge. A rational person believes very few things with 100% certainty, but it's not reasonable to be paralyzed by even the slightest amount of doubt and never say anything. I think a reasonable approach is to state things with some indication of your level of confidence, like:
1. Obviously sweet potatoes are yams.
2. Sweet potatoes are yams.
3. I am pretty sure sweet potatoes are yams.
4. I think sweet potatoes are yams.
5. I think sweet potatoes are yams, but I'm not sure.
6. I think sweet potatoes are yams, but I don't really know why I think that.
7. Sweet potatoes might be yams.
