Yes, I have lost Commandment VII so will proceed to Commandment VIII while I search.
Commandment VIII: Thou shalt not lie in thine art.
The integrity of art lies in the integrity of the artist. Authenticity in art lies with authenticity in the artist. The artist's journey to clarify a vision is filled with failures, false starts and untruths. These are expected but not intentional.
A lie is intentional, driven by suspect motivations or lacking courage. Lying to the viewer is lying to the self, which is the first source of art.
