    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.
