"This sentence is a lie." He doesn't seem to actually debunk the idea, just yells about David Gerard for a bit. Can you explain how it's different from Pascal's Wager?

At least the part where it's implied that "Someone from organization X used the basilisk to convince innocent bystanders to donate to X" is false, for any value of X that I know of. Pascal's Wager is/was (I imagine?) used to get people to subscribe to various churches and give them money.
