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?

FACT: 100% of people that consume Dihydrogen Monoxide die.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wrong, a mortality of 94.5% has been shown not even close to 100%.

One could say that people who haven't died yet don't have a cause of death yet so they can't be counted.

Maybe we can agree on "100% of people who died consumed dihydrogen monoxide beforehand".

Except for the ones that didnโ€™t.

Please show me the data showing the data on pre-1900s populations proving that 100% of them consumed dihydrogen monoxide. You can't do it.
