++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The entry is incomplete, for it fails to acknowledge a half-truth as
being a statment that ignores other truths, however the statement in
question, is true. (It has been suggested that this may be the
'original sin' from biblical story of Adam and Eve."
Research discovered this component to half-truth back in 1994, and you
can see it has not been corrected in all dictionaries. In fact, 'the
logical continuation' of this correction will change the definitions
of 'lie" and "truth."
So be careful, not everything you read is complete, and may be missing
items, important to it....
Is there a 'political agenda' to ignore this dimension of truth.
