I can't answer your actual question, but I can tell you that there are situations where you can get an excess of the wrong kinds of attention and it can be very problematic. Perhaps calling it "stealth mode" is a bad tactic. But there is (or can be) benefit to doing some of the legwork and not being too share-y (or not seeking too much publicity) at a certain stage, especially if it is something you will need to "cram down their throat." Babies gestate in darkness. Sometimes, projects need to do so as well.
