Summary

This quote suggests that being straightforward and open in one's communication can actually be an effective way of hiding one's true thoughts and intentions, while also baffling others. By presenting oneself as being frank and explicit, one can create an illusion of transparency and honesty, which can serve as a smokescreen to keep others from discerning their true motives or beliefs. It implies that artful manipulation of language and presentation can be used to obscure one's true thoughts and keep others in a state of uncertainty or bewilderment.
