Instead of actual security why not have a spec for /humans.txt which can say things like "Please don't read anything in the /secret directory."

and what would that achieve? all it's going to do is force companies to add legal boilerplate (eg. those "this message is intended for the recipient only..." that you see in email signatures) to every imaginable place to cover their ass, meanwhile doing nothing to improve security.
Talk about no sense of humour.
