Generally I agree, but I think it depends on the situation. On one level, subtlety can inspire creative, original and individual thought, even instigate great positive change, through surreptitious direction to those who are perceptive enough to absorb the true meaning. Context is important here. So subtley, yes, is underrated when the fitting context exists. However, subtlety can can also be superfluous when a more explicit message is required. Once again, context is everything. So I guess you have to do your research.

Yes I would agree. I would also add that subtlety also can go 'over the heads' of those who are more dense than us.

It seems to be a lost art, at that. I will agree that it is highly underrated. It is like my rant on tact, of lack thereof..don't get me started.

Absolutely, some words don't need an action, just a cause and an affect.

I think it is a talent like being outgoing. Both can be overdone and both can be underdone. It is best to be oneself and if that is subtle so be it.

Perhaps you have just made a valid point, worthy of further investigation.
