For the most part, this expression holds true EXCEPT when another person does not know all the facts about any particular situation. It's definitely not wise to assume one is in possession of all the facts because there's ALWAYS the proverbial "Ace up one's sleeve." And, just because one chooses to not speak publicly about any some such perceived "skeleton in the closet " does not always mean it's a 'skeleton' that brings shame upon the person or people affected by the so-called "skeleton in the closet."

OR --- as I prefer to say, due to my heavier than usual study of communication (organizational, human, interpersonal or family or law or social media --- to name a few categories of specialty studies), people often leave clues to any sort of thought process or motive or intent via the way the communicate x, y or z types of things.

Hope and anticipation are often better than reality....

And, sometimes it's the way a person perceives their own reality. Perception is key toward understanding. Sometimes reality is far better than what one could possibly imagine.

This is a favorite expression I use often.....I think it's wise to have and cultivate an expansive repertoire of talent, logic, "tools of the trade" in order to be able to adapt or adopt at any given moment. Having the ability to do such a thing is valuable, if not life saving.
