Motorcycle safety courses teach what's called the SMIDSY* weave. Its not really weaving or wiggling, its simply not staying in a static position in your lane. The logic is human perceptions trigger on motion, and reduces the amount of time you may be in the blind spots of others.
Weaving or wiggling enough to cause confusion would be counter productive.
