    they are but they aren’t. for example.

    two people stand in front of you.

    person A tells half truths.

    person B tells half lies.

    which will you trust more?

    technically both are doing the same amount of lying but person B is actively lying to you by including false information while person A is not telling you the whole truth by omitting it.

      I think the “half truths” make it a less apt comparison but I think using that riddle is a really good way to think about it!
