If you really wanted the answer, a better way to go about this would
have been simply to state it and see how, in fact, people responded.
My guess is that you would have been slowly but surely attacked,
mocked, etc.

The proper etiquette seems to be, here, to imply that you 'get it' and
certainly know what isn't 'it' but not to directly claim that you are
'it'. How we all know so much about something we are not experiencing
could function as a kind of Koan.

I have gotten the feeling that this is the "etiquette", but the
question remains, "why?"

Probably because there was nothing to be enlightened.

Full awakening is a social act.
Who is your teacher?
