I was unsure if it were canonical to say Derek lied as opposed to him being uncertain. He certainly told Scott the "rumor" and encouraged him to believe it was possible in order to get Scott's help but I wasn't sure if:

1) It was an outright lie

2) whether the Alpha's lineage played a role (i.e. born a werewolf as opposed to being made one) for the "curse" to be dispelled.

Either way, I figured that the truest canon answer I could give was the one I gave.
