"I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said"

This quote by Alan Greenspan is a funny way of warning the listener that his words might not be as simple as they seem. He is recommending that if the listener discovers his words to be particularly clear, then they have likely misinterpreted what he has said. This is since Greenspan is implying that his words are typically complex and difficult to translate. He is suggesting that the listener should watch out for taking his words at face value and ought to rather put in the time to consider what he is saying and consider the ramifications of his words. By doing this, the listener can gain a better understanding of what Greenspan is attempting to interact. This quote is a reminder that it is very important to put in the time to think of what is being said and to think about the implications of the words prior to making any assumptions.
