A "strategic open secret" refers to information that is:

1. Widely known or easily discoverable (open)
2. Deliberately not publicly acknowledged or emphasized (secret)

This concept is often used in:

1. Politics
2. Business
3. Military strategy
4. Diplomacy

The idea is to maintain plausible deniability or avoid drawing attention to sensitive information while still allowing it to be informally understood or inferred by relevant parties. #forested
