Is a subsequent qualification concerning the non-receipt of a sale price accepted if stated after an initial declaration of debt?

Primary text

If one initially states, 'I owe one thousand from a sale price,' then pauses, and subsequently states, 'I have not received it,' the subsequent statement is accepted. This is because the initial acknowledgment was intrinsically linked to the sale item, and the default state regarding receipt is non-receipt, validating the subsequent explanation.
