Unlike the polarized black and white abstracted world of the interenet, reality is shades of grey.
DPA is not 'advertising stealth' in the sense that we use the term around here, they produce and sell microphones that can be hidden on talent and used on camera without drawing attention to the gear.
equipment, not technique.
That does not equate to stealthing.[..]
So I chose to do my field recordings with small discreet microphones that obscured the sight lines to the minimum, and drew the least attention.
My quoting of the DPA description was somewhat tounge-in-cheek and intentionally open to selective intrepretation. As you know, we share many of the same values my friend, in respect to talk of stealth recording on open forums and also keeping a discreet low-profile when open recording.
