The law against telling the truth.

Scott Stiegler just argued that according to the law, UNM cannot tell the whole truth as they now know it.

The amount of truth to be told, can be expressed on a continuum;

On one end; the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. On the other end; don't get caught telling a lie.

telling the truth __________________ not telling a lie.

Right now, they are arguing that the point is on the far right
in obedience to the "law".

truth ___________________________ X_ no truth

Ethically, if they were ethically bound, the point would move
to the far left.

the ethically redacted truth _X_____________ no truth

There is no law against telling the ethically redacted truth.
