    Your point highlights the fact that lies are a tool. The intentional omission is a lie.

    Judgment about the tool’s use is subjective.

    Everyone uses this tool. Calling someone a liar is either calling them a human or it means you’re saying they use the tool more than they should which is yet another subjective judgment.

        I agree, and it’s hard to educate because people don’t want to admit to using this tool at all.

        Doesn’t change the fact that it is a tool and its use is subject to judgment.
