Summary
This quote suggests that in our modern world, being easily understood or transparent leads to being discovered or exposed. It implies that there is a level of hidden complexity or ambiguity that is expected or even celebrated. In today's society, being intelligible may not be valued as much as being intriguing or elusive. Consequently, individuals or ideas that are easily understood may be subject to scrutiny or judgment, while those that are more enigmatic may hold a certain allure or fascination.
