That doesn't seem to be a point missed so much as one that's obvious and generally unnecessary to state fully qualified descriptions of everything in casual conversation.

Except that when you are using it as marketing in a book, there are very important distinctions.

Lies of omission and all that.

A lie of omission would apply if you state a selection of true facts and ignore other ones so as to make yourself look better than you are.

In this case, I'm stating that I was a hiring committee member and not saying that I attended regularly, when I in fact did. This is not a lie of omission. At worst, you could accuse me of not offering additional qualifications.
