I'm not quite sure that's the case. Ray said "That term is one of your own invention" which seemed to convey a belief that it was a new usage made up by Thomas Dalton.

A "lie of omission" is often considered to be a lie, as the name suggests.

Lie of omission is his invention?
1m ghits http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=%22lie%20of%20omission%22 and 612 book hits http://books.google.com/books?num=100&q=%22lie of omission" and [[Lie#Types of lies]] (not to mention the multiple usages in our other articles: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch...)
all say to me that lie of omission is exactly what I thought it was: a common English phrase. Where is the invention here?

What I believe was the question here was not who coined the phrase "lie of ommission", but rather who brought it into the discussion.
