%%** "The box was a metaphor."
** Un-Locke is fond of using this tactic. When he tells Ben that he can have the island all to himself if he helps him in his cause, he "leaves out the part about it being at the bottom of the ocean". He tells the candidates that he needs them to escape the island: and [[spoiler: he does need them...to die]].
** Christian's medical report on the patient he ended up killing in his drunkenness told "the truth": that two doctors tried to save her and failed. It seems to be carefully worded to avoid the issue of the cause of failure being that ''he ended up fatally lacerating her because his hands were shaking too badly from all the booze''.

** Sayid, the torturer. The only time we are even *informed* that he succesfully tortured someone is in a flashback, and it is almost all offscreen. This among numerous failed attempts.

** Sayid, the torturer. The only time we are even *informed* that he succesfully tortured someone is in a flashback, and it is almost all offscreen. This among numerous failed attempts. This could be an instance of TruthInTelevision; outright physical torture is almost never successful, since victims will tend to say whatever they think will just get the torture to ''stop''.

* HeinousnessRetcon: Early into the series, Sawyer is presented as bigoted. I.e. In the second episode, his attack on the Iraqi Sayid is clearly racially motivated, with Sawyer believing he's a terrorist that must have brought the plane down solely due to him being middle eastern even though everyone saw the plane shake and break apart due to turbulence. While his {{Jerkass}} personality remains and he often feuds with other survivors, the racism aspect is instantly dropped after this confrontation, and no one, including Sayid, ever calls him out on it.
