Lawyers, perhaps? They have this wise obsession with encouraging non-lawyers to say as little as possible. They love nothing more than quiet clients.
Very bothersome people, if you ask me. All bite and no bark!

Why hide it?
That's been confirmed: lawyers. Giving no information gives the impression that this is totally underhand, even though it isn't -- but this is apparently less important to such lawyers than covering their legal arses and making absolutely sure that nothing *they* say ever gets public where people might sue them for it, even when they're ordering other people to say things in public that harm their reputations. Lovely people :(
