Reminds me of the old saying, "it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it."

It's also a reason why short business emails are better than longer ones. You can always go more in depth. It takes skilled restraint to touch on only the most relevant details without losing the larger point.

Yes, sorry! Apologies if it sounded that way. The author is definitely no fool. If anything he proved the saying wrong. :-)
