That's what I think too, especially if we are to assume that Eli is Liquid and both Eli and Ocelot were in Afghanistan at the same time. I think that Cipher ordered Ocelot to convince Liquid he was the inferior clone as part of his research into soldier genes; would believing himself to be the inferior clone, despite his superior genes, really make a difference in Liquid's combat performance? I don't believe there has ever been a single person Ocelot hasn't lied to, with the exception of Big Boss, although I believe The Phantom Pain tagline "A Rival Living a Lie" not only refers to Ocelot secretly being a traitor towards Cipher, but that he is even willing to lie to and manipulate Big Boss in order to keep him alive and provoke he and Miller into going after Cipher.
