There is a substantive difference between lying via omission and lying
via commission. Saying "Wow this is really good" while eating a dish
you hate is substantively different from simply politely avoiding
eating that which you hate.

I was at a wine tasting party with friends years and I went in the
kitchen and poured myself a glass of a white Bordeaux which upon first
sip was YUCK to me. I figured maybe I had to give it another couple of
sips, but after 2 or 3 and no improvement, I politely and quietly got
up, went back in the kitchen and poured that foul glass of crap down
the drain and got myself a glass of Cabernet and rejoined the party in
the living room. No need to publically exclaim "Man this white
Bordeaux sucks!" Someone had brought that Bordeaux and I didn't want
to make anyone feel bad. I just didn't like it. Maybe others did, I
dunno. Not my problem, there were other wines there I loved!

Maybe you could have picked the offending strips of squash out and
eaten around them! Or did the presence of the squash infuse it's vile
squash-ness into everything else in the lasagna?

I swear Bryan! More black and white/all or nothing thinking on your
part.
