So, then, what's the meaning of the statement? Why don't rely on secret techniques?
- Because you shouldn't rely on
any technique?
- Because the techniques are highly effective, but you shouldn't rely on their being secret (i.e., your opponent not knowing them as well)?
- Because, like a lot of secrets, just being secret doesn't make them All That, and they're not any more effective than the non-secret techniques?
