What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?

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?

That's why I clarified that the definition of any word, including the word fact, is subjective.

No it’s not or we’ll bicker over every word and square could mean triangle. We have agreed upon word definitions. That’s part of a language.

Language is constantly evolving. Deal with it.

That doesn’t mean that word definitions are absolutely not arbitrary nor subjective. They are agreed upon in a civilization at any given time. I don’t have to deal with anything.
