The men are insubordinate a few times. Their insubordination reflects unfavorably on Odysseus because not only can he not fully control his men, but also they do not fully trust him.

The answer comes first from understanding the meaning of double-talk, and its uses. Double-talk is defined as a way of communicating with others that uses ambiguity, or double meanings, in order to confuse the audience, and hide a truth that the speaker does not want to reveal. It is also known as talk that can make absolutely no sense, again with the goal of confusing, and which can mislead a listener from understanding the truth.
Given the example provided in the reference, taking the meaning of double-talk, one synonym that could be used, and would have the same meaning as in this example, would be the word gibberish. "Using gibberish does not ease the conversation."
