    However an incomplete truth is via omission, thus making it a lie.

    Can an incomplete truth be not a lie if it’s incomplete, because the speaking person just doesn’t know the whole truth?

      When you say something fully believing it, it is not a lie, regardless of factual/objective correctness.

        And if you know that what you know isn’t the full truth, but still telling what you know and not revealing your suspicions?
