Explanation

Because, actually, the last part of the sentence indeed says:

This reticence was more formal than substantial. I.E. it was more an attitude, a posture rather than a fact, a concrete thing.

hope now is clear.

No.

Actually, his posture was an appearance.

In this case, he shows himself alike a rock star shows as a drug-addicted because is cool, is a role, the mainstream wants this...but indeed he is not that way.
