Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: My manager flagged a glaring omission in my report — I'd forgotten the budget breakdown.
Speaker B: Classic omission — not wrong in what it says, but incomplete in what it doesn't.
Speaker A: Is there a difference between omission and oversight?
Speaker B: Oversight implies accidental omission — you didn't notice. Omission is neutral — deliberate or accidental.
Speaker A: And a lie of omission?
Speaker B: Telling only the facts that suit you, leaving out the ones that don't. Recognised in ethics and law.
Speaker A: Any spelling traps?
Speaker B: Only one m — not ommission. And don't confuse it with emission — emission is sent out; omission is left out.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Today we use 'omission' in AI prompts for validation, auditing, and completeness tools.
Speaker A: Omission is perfect when you want the AI to find what's missing rather than what's wrong.
Speaker B: Five prompts.
Speaker A: So 'omission' in a prompt means: find what's missing, flag it, and track it until resolved.
