For the argumentative version see Words Speak Louder Than Silence

Making a game action with the plan of undoing it with the intention that the opposition might think you are "really" doing it. This might entail the opponent using resources, chronoenergy and focus in vain.

When applied to movement becomes Echo Casting.

When the units are used for this purpose because they are being undone becomes Dead Men Tell You Lies.

If the focus is more to gain information on where various game elements are becomes Counterfactual Scouting.

Doing this with the intention of gaining insight to the opponents play style makes it Lets See You Handle This.
