What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

If I remember correctly, dark roast was also originally devised to hide bad-quality coffee beans. Nowadays it is often implied that darker roasts are better, which actually isn't necessarily the case.

    Implied where? All the coffee snobs I know drink lighter roasts and derogatorily call dark roasts “supermarket coffee”

    Dark roasts have a more consistent taste/flavor and it has a longer shelf life, so it's easier to know what you're getting. If you want to taste the variety of flavors coffee can have, you'll go for fresher lighter roasts.
