No. There is a distinct difference between lying and withholding information.

Weasel words?

Being economical with the truth?

Squirrely?

what is that distinct difference if you care to elaborate?

It's a clear sunny day and you ask me, "is it raining?". I answer, "it's not snowing." Am I lying?

With your attitude to the truth, I wouldn't trust you an inch.

I'll choose to be charitable and assume you are arguing rhetorically. If not, your relationship with truth is "interesting".
