Not classifying meetings that have never been classified before is not insisting on radical transparency.
But even if you assume that politicians have misaligned incentives because they care more about optics than saving lives, why reduce transparency?
You're making the assumption there are more good decisions with bad optics than bad decisions with bad optics. Which seems like an unlikely assumption to be true.
