If someone tells me I'd be stupid to go visit grandma, and then decides I'm disloyal/unloving because I believed them, that's called lying and it's going to end my relationship with them pretty quickly.

I can see that being manipulative too but it’s also a cultural difference. That’s the crux of the article in a way. Some are of these things seem offensive and annoying but are rather normal for other cultures.
In that sense I would say many Americans are lying all the time, because they exaggerate everything ;)
