I just can't believe that Bob would leave something out like that. I mean,
he does know everything there is to know (or at least more than anyone else
here in Fido) so it is obviously  was an error of oversight. If he
deliberately left out the facts in order to mislead, then he is doing what
he has accused others of doing, lying by omission.

And we all know Bob doesn't lie.
