Sorry for any rudeness perceived:

1. Security through obscurity is different from secrecy. Not at all what we were arguing. You just pulled pop sci quotes from the crypo world.

2. > Imagine if every interaction with the government; every contract, negotiation, communication was a matter of easily searchable public record.

Democracies do have FOIA but it doesn't and shouldn't extend for foreign entities.
