... about the nuances of thinking and communicating about either of two matters:)

  1. nuance, an aspect of (either) sensation, thought, meaning, communication, law, and causality,
       and/or
  2. for that matter, also the difficulties of thinking thru, or discussing, any successes achieved from considering such things.

   I think the actual definition of nuance is subject to more nuance than the article suggests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.73.40.95 (talk) 18:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

   Gosh, did i miss a nuance of either
"nuance" or
Nuance, or (for that matter, even...)
nuances in general?

Could this article be any more vague? I came here after seeing this in the Asperger article and predictably, I am more confused than before. 98.145.211.102 (talk) 16:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

   Despite my (however belated) participation in the merriment above, i acknowledge your question is presumably not just the most distasteful part of said merriment, but rather a serious question: so, in case your question was not simply another of colleagues' (and my own) grotesque parodies of this semantically and intellectually difficult term:
   Nuance is occasionally used to mean "insinuation", which I for one think of mostly as insults (or perhaps in some circles, hidden meanings used
merely ostentatiously, and/or
to deliver insults, so subtly that those insulted can be mocked in the eyes of a clique, either
openly, as "paranoid", or
by indirection (if the target is thought to be so insecure about their own actual merit as to likely construe insults from others who disparage -- or even appear to take note of -- an arguable cause for disapproval).
