The problem is that a lot of people fail to parse statements correctly and interpret them to mean something else than they actually do. It's technically not lying. As an example, an ISP advertising speeds "up to 1Gbps", when in reality you usually get 20Mbps, rarely 50Mbps, is not lying - the bandwidth never goes over 1Gbps. However, most of us here would be very upset with the reality when compared to the ad.
