[InitialLastName]

> vulnerable or direct than any party to the conversation has been to that point

You seem to be sort of acknowledging the contradiction in this one. If the conversation is guarded (self-protecting vulnerability) or indirect, then it isn't being frank.

But what follows Frankly is genuine whereas in the other examples the target phrase is used to reinforce a deceitful stance.
