What?? Then people will know what he's saying. I hear Talleyrand once said "Language is given to us to conceal our thoughts"; some people take it far too seriously!
But then, Tallyrand was a diplomat. His comment is directly applicable to that entire industry. I suspect it is less useful most other places, times and occupations.
Besides, it's a good joke he told. You ought to laugh. :)
