The LLM will take a statistical path to reply and will not refuse to do so under any circumstances except where its been coded to do so.
Your examples are contrived and will not be borne out in any significant way. Inaccuracies are usually not simply made up claims they are false information based on statistical paths to misleading results or which elude the current context. LLMS dont understand the word dont. LLMS dont understand the meaning of any words.
Neither you, nor aristotle nor god will ever make an LLM return the truth or correct results via prompting.

  In what way do you understand the meaning of the word "unicorn" that an LLM does not? It has experienced exactly as many real unicorns as you have.

    The two most cliche messages on this forum. They occur in every LLM discussion. It’s fascinating.
