Confusing

Creating confusion

Description

The essential action of the strategy of confusing involves deliberately introducing ambiguity, complexity, or contradictory information to disrupt clear understanding or decision-making. This tactic is used to obscure facts, delay responses, or weaken opposition by making issues harder to interpret or resolve. Practically, it can remedy threats by buying time, diverting attention, or destabilizing adversaries, but may also hinder effective communication and problem-solving if misapplied or overused.
