Well you don't actually want to say anything - then you're responsible for it!

Or, for the pollies in the audience:

While it is government policy to distribute rulings and descisions to as wide and varied an audience as possible, metricization or overly verbose distribution of the specification of certain policy areas and decisions can lead to undesirable liability resulting in a net reduction of outcomes. This can, in turn, lead to little in the way of detailed programmatic specificity moving forward.

(And it's a joke - there is no way that "distribut[ing] rulings and descisions" is in any way government policy! )
