So, for you, there's a conflict of truth & honesty?

Sometimes, not always. A lot of people think telling a lie is the opposite of telling the truth - indeed there's a UK TV show that makes that assumption. But, as I think it was Aquinas averred, a lie is the intention to deceive, and therefore not strictly dependent on whether what is said is true or false. Hence the famous statement that a minister was being 'economical with the truth' is lying, since the intent was to deceive. Similarly, if I ring you up and say one of your loved ones is in hospital after an accident, and I am intending to deceive you, I am lying, even if, unbeknown to me it happens to be true.
