As a student of opacity in language the below quote from Mr. Ali al-Naimi is a gem, and when someone states "talk" has "no basis in reality", that kind of excess is an excellent indicator for deception.
Saudi Arabia's oil minister, Ali al-Naimi, yesterday broke months of silence to speak publicly about the Gulf nation's stance on the oil market. He dismissed claims that the country had triggered a "price war" to outcompete rival energy sources like US shale
"Talk of a price war is a sign of misunderstanding, deliberate or otherwise, and has no basis in reality," Mr Naimi said, according to Reuters. "We do not set the oil price. The market sets the prices."
