If there is no reason for a character to lie, then it's a retcon or inconsistency.

There is no reason for Cora to lie, but she might have not lied and simply failed. Lumiere has absolutely no reason to lie because what?

"The Vault of the DO where the first DO was born" versus "Where the DOs are reborn into Darkness" or even "where DOs are known to be born".

It's like the Apprentice and the whole "Merlin tethered the Darkness to a human soul and tethered it." Which is a complete flop as it wasn't even close to true. That is a retcon because the Apprentice was thee and he had no reason to lie.
