Summary

This quote suggests that in an environment where secrecy is predominant, people tend to be careless and ignorant. They find comfort in hiding their incompetence and lack of knowledge. Conversely, those who possess skill and expertise prefer transparency and openness. They thrive in the spotlight, as it allows them to showcase their capabilities. Therefore, the quote implies that in a setting where secrecy is encouraged, the potential for mistakes and ignorance is more likely, while those who are skilled prefer an environment of openness and sharing.
