The response made above refers back to my earlier comments relating to
understanding.
That part of speech/report writing aimed at multiple audiences can appear
gibberish to some, if not crafted in a fashion wich accommodates all of
those audiences seamlessly.
The fashion of speaking/writing and choices made during communication can
themselves carry information, such as the weight to be attached to
particular statements by particular portions of any audience. Perhaps
gibberish to some is a clear communication to others, as in an unfamiliar
language.
Choosing the fashion of communication to appropriately suite the audience(s)
is definitely one of the historically developed (and ongoing) privacy
creating mechanisms, as is providing time for understanding to develop.
Choosing not to align views with any one particular audience could also
create similar outcomes.
