Clarification is a social ritual that exposes the lurking beast of ambiguity and forcibly converges discussion points. In corporate boardrooms, it is paraded as the signboard of an agenda while actually functioning as a magical incantation that prolongs debates. By uttering the word "clarification," participants legitimize intellectual paralysis and gain the right to diffuse responsibility. Ultimately, clarification is the most polite means of offloading one’s own confusion onto others.

A social ceremonial pouch that feigns listening to others' words to create a sense of security while secretly reaffirming one's own excellence. Sometimes hailed as the key to unlocking another's mind, but more often it serves merely as a shield for the ego. Sounds caring, but is actually a prelude to self-celebration.
