>Something can be simultaneously "misleading" and either true or false. Which category should something go in if it's "mostly false"?

Disagree. The definition of misleading is a true fact that is presented in a way to lead you to a false conclusion.

Example: "Most good engineers are male". It is true as a consequence of most engineers being male in general, but it leads the reader to a potential false implication that an average man is better than an average woman.

This does not invalid your point though. Things can be true and misleading.
