I should have chosen my words more carefully, I suppose.

There is lying to save the peace or the emotional atmosphere, then there is filling in and creating information that is not actually there (which is more what I was meaning here). Still, a fabrication, so to me “lie” works just as well... proof my ethics functions are shit, I guess.

Anything can be turned into anything else. Nothing is ever “true” as long as you can continue to redefine it and find another way out of it.
