Truth-Lie spectrum... what's the word for "jedi truth"?

LIE
Knows self to be lying and lies: to lie, a lie
Doesn't know self to be lying but lies: to confabulate, confabulation, "honest lie"
Knows self to be misguiding and tells truth in a way that it becomes a lie in the listener's mind: <--- what is the name for this? TV Tropes used to call this a Jedi Truth, but what's the actual word?
Doesn't know self to be misguiding and tells the truth, but becomes a lie in the listener's mind: a misunderstanding
Thinks self to be lying but tells the truth without knowing: <--- what is the word? as seen in Wilde's The Importance of being Ernest.
Knows the truth and tells the truth: to tell, a truth
TRUTH

Apraxia

I think my ideas tend to be apraxic: cannot bring a series of actions [in this case, ideas] to an end/goal.

Eaten too much

Pour une raison inexpliquée, les boulettes de viande semblent déplacer un volume de soupe supérieur à leur volume apparent.

Parce qu'elles et la soupe ne rentraient pas dans le contenant plus gros et je ne voulais pas utiliser un deuxième contenant, j'avais bu le reste. C'était deux bols. Immédiatement après souper.

Je n'ai pas beaucoup de gros bon sens, ai-je? (mal au ventre)
