Concerning honesty in the use of information, which statement is NOT true?

Honesty in information use means sharing complete, accurate data and being open about how that data was obtained. In planning practice, that means providing all relevant land use codes to developers so they can understand constraints and comply with regulations. It also requires being transparent about sources of information so others can assess reliability and potential biases, and verifying data with credible sources to ensure accuracy before it’s shared. Withholding information about land use codes from developers goes against these principles, undermines trust, and can mislead stakeholders, so that statement is not true.
