But if that is expanded on in any way other things will need to be considered. Such as the teacher who died protecting her children, you would make this hero a liar, I say this hero deceived the enemy and saved many lives, her plan worked and no lie was told, PERIOD! You need to get of your holier than thou horse and understand this, You My Friend Are Wrong in this situation. I believe we may have to nick name you Pharisee.
Calm down for a second. We're actually having a proper discussion for once. Let's not ruin that.
So when someone says something that is outright not true, we call that a lie. When someone does exactly this in a situation like the OP, it is called deception, even though the action itself is identical to lying?
