Basically this rule means that most the intentions behind our actions are hidden. If a person is feeling depressed or angry, usually the resulting behaviors distort their true feelings. If I feel you snubbed me, I might hold my tongue but ignore you later.
The old joke is that women use words like, "fine," and, "go ahead," when they really feel the opposite. But I've noticed men do this too in polite situations, although often not in the same way.
