Also known as don't rock the boat. There are many ways to play the corporate game, if you're there just to pick up a paycheck, then you do you and all the more power to you. However, that doesn't mean it's the only way to play. There's a lot room to get to know both your team and yourself more if you try and learn more about one another. The key thing is to read the room because the other side might not be open to the same level of candidness as you are, or on the same topics. Your mileage may vary, but as usual, absolutes are rarely correct.
