Legally speaking

Self-proclamation, be it directly or indirectly expressed, or implied, either through verbal expression or non-verbal implications such as gestures, eye signals, or any body language suggesting such implications, is or should at times, which, depending on the context of the circumstances involved, be construed as a basic human tendency to explain and justify oneself and by human, it is intentional to mean any reasonable creature in rerum naturae, in the light of ignorance about both the objective as well as the socially-constructive reality of the matter, the knowledge of such reality in the self-proclaimed being irrelevant, is sometimes seen, depending on the circumstances by which the self-proclamation took place, as a contravention of rare and unconventional psychological readiness to resist such a temptation.
