It occurs to me that NTL may be a safer deception technique than outright lying for another reason: an honest person may fail to disclose relevant information purely by accident—they did not realize that their audience was ignorant of it—and thereby leave a false impression. Intent is therefore harder to demonstrate in NTL cases.
