Given only finite time, isn’t one always omitting nearly everything? If you believe in dishonesty by omission is everyone not dishonest, in that sense, nearly all the time? You can argue that only “relevant” information is subject to non-omission, but since relevance is a subjective, and continuous, property this doesn’t seem like very useful guidance. Wherever you choose to draw the line someone can reasonably claim you’ve omitted relevant (by some other standard) information just on the other side of that line.
