It consists of concealing the truth, or in the case of half-truths, concealing [[parts]] of the truth, like inconvenient or [[secret]] [[information]]. Dissimulation differs from [[simulation]], in which one exhibits [[false]] information. Dissimulation commonly takes the form of concealing one's [[ability]] in order to gain the element of [[surprise]] over an opponent. | '''Dissimulation''' is a form of [[deception]] in which one conceals the [[truth]].
