Is it ever okay to fart silently in a conference meeting?

Here me out. I’m in a management meeting with other investors. Is it a pod shop sausage fest jamboree? Yeah and I’m not. So is it acceptable to toot silently? What if there is no smell? What if the weighted average stench is bad but the probability-weighted smell is below my WACS (weighted average cost of stench)? I don’t want to miss out on capitalizing on the subtle cues the pods use their binocs for like how the CFO inhales the air as I exude my flatulence. I need to scrap that alpha. Pls let me scalp it as I emit my emissions.
