I understand and am sympathetic to the aversion to "stealth mode" but it depends on the context. I've often had people use stealth mode to mean, "I don't want it getting back to my boss that I'm talking to you about job opportunity, tech, etc."

In fact I'd say both of the things you mention I've mostly seen come from people who are too close to the investor or investor mindset.

Great point, I think it also matters what industry you are in. For example a friend just mentioned this: "In my old industry (solar), the possibility of someone stealing your technology before you could get it to market was very real."

My argument is by no means a rule, just a personal observation.
