Too dangerous. What if every department gets a different phrase?

Those people would probably do something like innocuously forward it to other departments. Reply to your version of the memo, but respond to the entire design and sales teams. Something like "What a great memo by Tim Cook!"

Yeah.

I could imagine that steganography is only one part of the puzzle who is the impostor.

Perhaps Apple has a secret departement dedicated to identify leakers. If they found someone they strongly suspect they lay out a trap, for example by only sending him confidential information.

And, if someone innocuously forwards a memo, they have the electronic paper trail of that.

Spionage, counter-spionage and counter-counter-spionage. Apple is waging a war.
