Someone knowingly swears falsely that they did not alter a file, although they did; no property was taken. What follows from the studied meaning of the false oath?

• Not taking property does not exclude it from the meaning of a false oath
• Without taking property, the oath must be only a slip of the tongue
• A false oath occurs only in buying and selling
