    Truth can be subjective, in one scenario: when it’s not the complete truth.

    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?
