There is a misalignment hazard to this framing: the person who decides to withhold the truth is not the audience who’d care to have their feelings spared. So the question of whether it’s “more important” might be ill-posed.
Thanks for bringing this up. Yes I think that is very important and is not what I’m trying to criticize. I will update the previous comment to clarify.
Maybe making people realize the reality of the situation and telling the truth is more important than sparing their feelings.
