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?

"Vending machines are more deadly than sharks".
While it's true that (at least for some years) more people are killed by vending machine accidents than shark attacks, your personal risk depends on what you do. If you're a vending machine factory worker who never goes into the ocean, you're far more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark. But if you live in a part of the world that doesn't have vending machines and you swim in the ocean every day, the reverse is true.
Wait, so you're telling me that there are no vending machines in the ocean that are preying on people swimming in the water?
There may be, the ocean is deep and not thoroughly explored.
You're scaring me! Just the thought of having a swim and then suddenly hearing a bag of chips getting stuck behind a glass panel sends shivers down my spine.
I think this is going to become a stock response for me
