Your point highlights the fact that lies are a tool. The intentional omission is a lie.

Judgment about the tool’s use is subjective.

Everyone uses this tool. Calling someone a liar is either calling them a human or it means you’re saying they use the tool more than they should which is yet another subjective judgment.

    An interesting take, but not one that can be leaned on to navigate daily life as it doesn't reflect an understanding of how most people wield the label of "liar".
