Poche, please focus.  We’re talking about YOU, and we’re talking about THIS WEBSITE.  Please provide a situation that is morally acceptable for you to “bend the truth” on an anonymous website, regarding a topic which is, by definition, NOT personal, because no one has any idea who you are.  I can’t think of any instance which allows an anonymous person to “make a mental reservation” but I’ll give you one shot to explain.

Many years ago when I lived in a different country, one of the fathers left the country on a mission. Because his country had a very complicated immigration process for people of his country to enter, he just wasn't able to come and go as he pleased. We were instructed that if we were asked, "Where is Father XXX?" We were to answer, "He is not home at the moment."

Here is one that was very common years ago. Before there was civil rights legislation it was no unheard of for a company to ask on an application form, "What church do you go to?" The idea was to exclude Catholics from the workforce. The nuns told the young people that the correct answer would be "I go to the First Christian Church of St Peter."
