So, security (safety) through obscurity?

  The phrase "security through obscurity" isn't an argument against all information restriction. It doesn't imply we should, for example, publish step-by-step instructions for making widespread death easier.

  The argument against security through obscurity isn't that it doesn't work at all. It does to a degree, only it is not as strong as people think. An example from the meat world: not publishing your vacation dates well in advance for the world to see somewhat reduces your chance of being burglarized. That is security by obscurity; not reliable, but not completely inefficient either. But if you live in a fortress (security by key material), you can well declare your vacation dates without running the risk.
