Should I declare UK visa refusal from more than 10 years ago while applying for uk visa on visa4uk?

I was refused a UK tourist visa in Feb. 2009 because I didn't present enough documentation or evidence to support my application. When I went on visa4uk's application it asked: "Have you been refused a visa for any country including the UK in the last 10 years?" Should I say no because it's technically a "no"? Or should I mention the refusal even though it's been more than 10 years? The other application on gov.uk instead asks if a person has been refused a visa, period.
