    Omission can be a lie as long as the intent is to deceive. Thats an important element to making something a lie

      I run into this with my wife because we put different importance on different information, and I tend to go for succinct rather than take an hour to get something across.

        I think the issue with this situation is often one person assuming they know what’s important and what’s not instead of letting the other person decide for themselves once they’re given the full info, it’s why omissions are often considered lies.
