no because it's still possible to find the data using standard techniques, it doesn't count as obsecurity it's still possible.

I.e. just because you* don't know where something is, doesn't mean it's using obsecurity to hide.

The reason is important, because words mean things: If you say, knowledge of some secret is security though obsecurity. That means passwords are security though obsecurity.

*: that may or may not be available to the attacker.

it other words, just because a secret exists, doesn't put that secret into the 'obsecurity' category.
