they are but they aren't. for example.

two people stand in front of you.

person A tells half truths.

person B tells half lies.

which will you trust more?

technically both are doing the same amount of lying but person B is actively lying to you by including false information while person A is not telling you the whole truth by omitting it.

I think the “half truths” make it a less apt comparison but I think using that riddle is a really good way to think about it!
