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?

Yeah I mean, neanderthals had bigger brains than humans, and they were no smarter than we are (as far as we know.)

Also a blue whale's brain is four times the size of a human brain and they don't even know how to drive.

We don't really know where blue whales go a lot of the time, so I think that's a bit of an assumption there.
