You aren't lying. You just aren't telling everything there is to tell. Now if someone asks you if you told them everything, and you say you did, NOW you're lying.

I should hope so. I think arguing weather a lie is a lie or not. is pointless. But I think there is real meat to what I think the is REAL question.

which I parse out as: Does Honesty ALWAYS REQUIRE 'full disclosure'?



Mostly I was saying it's a lot because I kind of want to discus but not all at once, it was getting too long.

I think the problem with those questions is they imply the same thing, but only because the thought of a lie or dishonesty in general comes with the idea that these things are always bad. So yes, it might be that full disclosure is required for honesty but honesty isn't always required or always good.
