Not at all. The package hides its contents. We are most persuaded by arguments that lead us with truth, at least as we perceive it, especially truth of which we are particularly "enamored." It blinds us, and the deceit thereafter is easy.

Of course. The simple wisdom frequently reveals unsimple wisdom when you apply it in the right contexts.
