If you intentionally misrepresent the truth in order to deceive people, even if your answer is technically true, you're a liar.
Some people intentionally manipulate language in order to deceive people. Even if this isn't officially lying in your book because it's 'technically true', it's still morally wrong, at least in book.
Scale should be taken into account, of course. I wouldn't condemn anyone for stealing cookies.
