Though one could construct effortlessly a convincing-sounding Wilde-ism which says that self-promotion is the highest form of discourse!
Maybe so -- that is the risk of paradoxes, sometimes they really are as false or nonsensical as they appear to be, and their authors less the wit than the witwoud (recall that a paradox is a figure of speech in which an apparently false or nonsensical utterance nonetheless expresses an insight -- as in, "art is a lie that tells the truth," or the actually Wildean, "only the shallow know themselves").
