Not sure it this has been discussed yet, but Cadsuane tells a clear lie

A Promise to Lews Therin
"There are Aiel in the city, Lady," Quillin said, scrubbing at an invisible spot on the tabletop.
She gave him a flat stare. "I hadn't noticed."
I think Sanderson probably just took sarcasm too far to be honest, but there doesn't seem to be wriggle room in the oaths for this kind of statement...

I can't remember where it's from, but Jordan said that the Three Oaths don't limit sarcasm or things of that nature. She doesn't believe she's lying, so she is able to do so. I'll try to dig up that interview.
Cadsuane lies!

Good point, but in that same book Tamra said that Gitara didn't say anything before dying *NM*

I understand this, I'm not arguing that an AS should not be able to be sarcastic

The sarcasm was for him repeating himself to her. The "remember" is the part she's refering to.

That's why I think this example of sarcasm works as opposed to Cadsuane who makes a false statement

sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie.

But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet.

You can already drive a truck through the oaths. Does this one additional tiny gap really matter?

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case?

in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate

But how would the machine reading indicate?

Usually you're s'possed to answer with a yes or no. It's easy to tell when you're evasive

It's in the way the Oath is worded
