alt Hacker News> Something can be simultaneously "misleading" and either true or false.
Sure they can. It might be a true fact that "100% of the murders committed in <town> over the last 25 years were committed by <some racial group>!" but actually it's a town of 750 people and there was only one murder during that time frame.
how is that misleading if it's a fact, it's only misleading if you presume to know the reaction or intent behind making such a claim, and without context we should be extremely careful in making such presumptions.
