  It’s only a lie if there’s intent to deceive. Mistakes are not lies and false memories are not lies.

  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 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?

        So not fully believing it then? Does not need to be a lie, but omitting things can be a lie.

  It’s not a lie, it’s a projection.

  Therefore lies are subjective
