Elizabeth 1 survived as queen by making 'answers answerless.' when asked whom she would appoint as her heir should she die without issue. Drove her council crazy at times, but she knew what she was doing. We'd have had war had she said young James of Scotland.
Or named ANYONE.
I agree with Cicero, but only partly and I don't think I like him. I have decided.

That's right, and that was exactly my meaning. To NOT make a decision may be the wisest decision, and she deployed it to strategic advantage, while people round her despaired, because they wanted her to commit. Clarity, clarity. Is a sacred cow, but now and then simplistic and an overrated benefit.
