“Misleading/needs context” seems to be an epistemic status that’s neither truth, nor lie, nor bullshit (ie indifferent to truth/falsehood). This type of assertion needs a name and some theorizing/steelmanning. Very unsatisfying/weak to accuse someone of this. Like “you’re mean!”

It doesn't need a name, it needs a response: IDFMA. Which can stand for: • Insufficient Data For Meaningful Answer (for which people have used this acronym since quite a while) • IDFMA Doesn't Fully Mean/Measure/Mediate Anything • It Does(n't) Fucking Matter Any(more/way/how)
-
Bonus: Adding it to traditional Yes/No questions enables predisclose one's own bias about which answer one expects, i.e.: * Y/N/IDFMA * Y/IDFMA/N * N/Y/IDFMA * N/IDFMA/Y * IDFMA/Y/N * IDFMA/N/Y assuming LTR parsing it communicates one's expectations about the others expectations
