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?

Of the ~100 billion humans who have ever lived, about 8 billion (8%) are still alive today. Therefore, your chance of dying is 92%, not 100%.
Wouldn’t that be the chance of any randomly selected person being dead?
Yea, you are right, idk what the original commenter is on.
Classic, but very illustrative
People reading this, aren’t you just a ray of sunshine with your 92% survival rate?
Are you assuming that everyone currently alive is immortal? You may be in for some disappointment.
We have no evidence they’re not. Statistically speaking, as many as 8% of humans are potentially immortal.
That’s what’s misleading about it.
Yeah, only about 8% of people currently living are immortal, so don’t get your hopes up.
