My learning: Stay out of the weeds

I will concentrate on the topics I have to talk. I am staying out of the weeds.

It means, "don't say too much that the customer doesn't need/want to know."
I believe this is the case, but I'm not entirely sure.

It is also sometimes used to mean, "don't micromanage something." In this case I guess it would be let your workers carry on with their duties without too much interference as long as things are running smoothly. But I'm not sure that this is the case here, because I think that would make for a very poor manager!
