Question

Maimonides, in his introduction to the Eight Chapters, says that sometimes he does not cite the source of his ideas, but presents them anonymously, as his own words, so that listeners will not refuse to accept them if they know their source. What does the Rabbi think of that reasoning?
Or to put it differently: I think that if I mention things in your name, people probably will not accept them from me (since, as is well known, in certain circles you are considered a "heretic" and an "apostate," so if you said something it must necessarily be wrong). Do you think it is proper to present your ideas as if they were my own, without mentioning the name of their original author (you), so that the listeners will accept them?
