No that is an issue of overlapping integrity. You promise to yourself, you friends and your family that you will survive. You lie to your captors...as a last resort.
Sometimes you are put in a situation where you feel you must break one virtue in order to uphold another.
In those times you can use you other Virian virtues.
Vision - imagining a future which inspires me, which of these actions is consistent with that vision?

I agree with your analysis. And it points even more stroingly to Integrity.
If Integrity isn't a virtue, how can we COV's other virtues propagate - as a
meme?
For example, we can request that all members tell their friends about COV.
People can say they will, and not do it, and be internally consistent as
Virtuous.
[Kalkor]
It would seem reasonable to lie to my captors in certain situations in order
to escape. That is not integrity, nor is it hypocrisy, but it's reasonable
and pragmatic.
