I think Last Romantic is talking about an expo on the enemy's side of the map (not at a far main on a >2 player map and not at min-only or something). That's just old-fashioned hidden expo, unless I'm missing something deeper. The less the enemy knows about your expo timing, the better. But is there a specific reason you'd want to do it, like to insinuate a lower base count so as to make the enemy think you're going faster hive and counter with faster vessel production while you're actually powering drone/lurk and not getting raped by the potential greater number of tanks he could have had? That's a bit far-fetched...or not.

For less obvious reasons his comments are also true. It does alot for hiding tech / strength as well. Pretty good comment here.
