Explanation

To 'give a wide berth' means to deliberately avoid, keep distance from, or steer clear of someone or something. Originally a nautical term about giving ships plenty of space, it now means avoiding something undesirable. It doesn't mean disclosing, agreeing, or valuing - it's specifically about avoidance.
