IMHO top secret is a way to hide lots of things from us.

I agree and since i work in mgmt, and actually assign data and documents permission as part of my job on two different platforms, i see the flaws in document permissioning system. On the documents platform, there are 40 different permission settings possible. A bit overengineered, yes, but the additional complexity requires a dedicated librarian to avoid the chaos created by individuals filing documents from their point of view, versus a standardized and constantly monitored system. That's why physical libraries have librarians doing the same job, but the electronic world requires much more complex monitoring and permissioning
So that's where i lay the blame, as you can train humans but human behavior is much more creative and not bounded by any laws of nature, so good training gets you 95+% of the way to your goal. The final 5% is the document management, proper document permissioning, and constant monitoring and logging of all activity against the permissions.
I see cases where libraries get chaotic without a librarian, without constant monitoring and cleanup, and that makes the permissioning a spaghetti nightmare. . that's where the mgmt blame lies. . They assigned me a librarian job as well, and i said no way, that's a full time job, and our document library is already out of control. . . that's where the tediocrity comes in.
You can't always default to everyone follows the training, because there are humans involved. . .
