Good observation. No lie, or at least no demonstrable lie. No answer, merely the appearance of one. Casuistry.
“No answer, merely the appearance of one.”
Exactly right. A non-denial denial. Even if a brain tumor is benign, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t grow larger over time. And it usually does. As they didn’t, it appears, operate on it for a period of the past 8 months, if he really has had a tumor that long, does that mean due to its location, it is inoperable? Lots of questions. Will be interesting to see whether more info gets out about this or not. Or when.
