Hah! granted, and fair comment… but they (well Matt at least) weren’t always as obfuscacious as today – at least not in the earlier GoogleGuy WMW world days, believe it or not you could then actually see through some of that smoke and gain a little insight, well at least thats what my perception told me. :D

I’m reminded of psychometry. There is one test that is pretty standard, which most people fail/pass with flying colours. It asks all manner of questions that are seemingly random yet designed to test a certain aspect of personality. Once the test is complete it is revealed that it is a test for honesty or at least an ability to be frank and candid with questions that relate to everyday events and interactions. One such question is about being on a public train and seeing a surly looking young 20 year old smoking a cigarette. Most people tick the ‘I’d ask him to put it out box’ the reality is in life very few people would.

What does this have to do with Spin and PR? Not a great deal I guess, was trying to illustrate that by digging a little deeper and seeing a person in their broader context, weighing up what they say to one thing against another, then you do eventually get a feel.If Obfuscation attempt == ‘x’ then whatever is left might be an alternative answer/solution. Matt’s been pretty consistant year in year out, but has slipped occassionaly, without even realising I reckon. Specifics? nah – can’t recall, pure opinion, recollection gut feeling.

Just to be clear here, obfuscation and lies are of course two different things, wouldn’t want to suggest that they are a pair of lying so and so’s.

It’s just PR and spin management these days, which is a little sad for us, yet to be expected too, take that supp thing, how could they possibly say anything else, lawyers would have a field day.

Anyone who expects anything else is straw clutching and expecting a golden goose to give up its golden eggs.

How do you read between the lines when they are a scrawled mess with no real coherent horizon.. as in none of them are vertical or horizontal?

I realised some time back that its quite useful to read the likes of Adam and his guvnor Matt, in a ready betweeny the linesy kinda way. Look for what they don’t say, look at what they choose to ignore and the way in which they ignore it, it really can be quite enlightening.
