Congratulations on the birth of your very own fallacy, sweetheart. Should I be buying pink balloons or blue?
More like, the sky is purple polka dots vs I know that the sky is purple polka dots but I think that it might upset you and so I'm deliberately going to withhold that information.
Both lies. Both betrayals of trust, which is the definition of a lie. I'm not justifying either, but it's still the same amount of bullshit.
