I wouldn't call it a lie, more of an estimate. Such approximations are useful in that they can impart a sense of scale to an issue. We waste a lot of energy. It's very easy to write off the impact of the decision to use a cfl because on an individual scale. It is more difficult to do it in the context of "if everyone did it" because if everyone did it, the reduction in energy use would be immense.
