What is the mystery behind revealing the name of the questioner in answers?

definition
"Revealing a questioner's name is not about exposure, but about dissolving the hidden ego that seeks recognition; true awareness responds to the soul, not the ambition."
According to Osho, the ‘mystery’ is no mystery: he reveals or withholds a questioner’s name only to expose hidden ego-games. If a seeker secretly craves publicity—even by begging anonymity—he refuses to be provoked and withholds it. He responds from awareness, not manipulation, using naming as a device to dissolve ambition, not to indulge it.
He names or doesn’t name people to help break their secret desire for attention, not to please or punish them.
