It is the same thing to say nothing and not to say it sufficiently.

Explanation

A statement so vague or incomplete that it communicates nothing is treated as no statement at all; the law demands not merely words but adequate words. (Duplicate maxim — see also 1.5.90.)

Where this applies

• Their filing is so vague it says nothing meaningful at all.
• A statement that doesn't communicate anything clearly is the same as no statement.
• The claim is too incomplete to even respond to — it's as if nothing was said.
