they are but they aren't. for example.
two people stand in front of you.
person A tells half truths.
person B tells half lies.
which will you trust more?
technically both are doing the same amount of lying but person B is actively lying to you by including false information while person A is not telling you the whole truth by omitting it.
I think the “half truths” make it a less apt comparison but I think using that riddle is a really good way to think about it!
