We're just talking about the largely arbitrary labels you choose to put on your resume. Putting "CTO", when you ran a two person startup, is objectively more dishonest than calling yourself the "Sr. Software Engineer." I was in no way suggesting withholding any detail in the interview, or even the resume. Of course you should be completely honest about your experience. Just don't use lame titles, that turn people off, when there's not even a good reason to.
