On the face, you seem to be replicating a rhetorical technique that avoids explicit claims, in favor of leading others to think your sayings must be very deep since they can't really follow them. This technique can persuade by leading the audience members to create their own conclusions, since conclusions are left unsaid. These conclusions may vary from person to person, but each is convinced they have just received a convincing argument in favor of them!
