The following diamonds of wisdom seem relevant here:
"The Tao which can be named is not the true Tao."
"Those who are on the road to attainment care not for these things,
but the people at large discuss them. Attainment implies non-discussion;
discussion implies non-attainment. Manifested Tao has no objective value;
hence silence is better than argument. It cannot be translated into speech;
better, then, say nothing at all."
- Lao Tze
