adroit
There is no flattery so adroit or effectual as that of implicit assent. [ Hazlitt ]
A man who knows the world will not only make the most of everything he does know, but of many things he does not know, and will gain more credit by his adroit mode of hiding his ignorance; than the pedant by his awkward attempt to exhibit his erudition. [ Colton ]
