Concept Category
Principle
Concreteexpression
By reporting the current defect while omitting the five-year history of non-reporting, Engineer Intern A made a representation to Engineer B that was technically accurate but materially incomplete, creating a misleading impression that the problem was a current isolated incident rather than a multi-year systemic failure

Importance
high
Interpretation
Honesty in professional representations encompasses not only the avoidance of false statements but the avoidance of technically true but materially incomplete communications that create misleading impressions; selective disclosure of facts can constitute a form of dishonesty
