No, it doesn't. Consider Joseph Conrand's Heart of Darkness, the final
episode where Marlow comes to Kurtz' widow and tells her about how her
husband died. He lies to her, but his intent is not to deceive her,
instead, he intends to make sure that her delusion of her late husband
is unharmed and that she continues to live that delusion because he
judges she will be better off for it.

In fact, you yourself used the word deceit, which is to lie with
intention to benefit from a lie. But people tell lies for all sorts of
reasons. People can lie by omission, through embellishment, by
choosing to focus on less relevant aspects of the event. All of these
are lies. When a painter mixes white paint into the form shadow of a
plaster ball, she lies. When Google Maps puts the destination marker
of the restaurant you have a reservation in in the middle of a sea, it
lies.

English literature lessons aside, even if you believe what you believe
about the meaning of the word, you could at least try to find the
irony, that was the larger goal, than to immediately presume you are
being attacked, and start retaliating instead of looking into the
problem.
