What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

For anyone curious about this, it's a safety feature. The front of a car is called the "crumple zone" — it's designed to crumple up in an impact, which absorbs a lot of the energy and means the cabin (the place where humans are) will experience significantly lower forces.
