Feigning foolishness - Play dumb while remaining smart. The smartest people do not always let on how smart they are. The less smart who think they are smart often act recklessly when it would be wiser to feign foolishness while biding their time.

Tas: What is the purpose of this page?

OneWeirdDude: Are there any good examples and/or interpretations of this? Dose it mean that if you really don't know what to do, even if you think you do, you should move elsewhere, or even Pass?

Adalam: I think it's more along the lines of not making serious moves until your opponent lets their guard down.
