You definition says "often" this implies intention, but I would say it ALWAYS implies intention. If you accuse someone of beating around the bush, you are calling them out! When do I do it?

Well, I beat around the bush when I have to say something negative or critique a friend or even a student. I try to justify my comment or opinion before pointing out an error/mistake.

How about you?
