Third reason is that since information is distracting. Say there is a 30% chance of layoffs in the next quarter. Should this be communicated down the chain when it's not actionable and will do nothing but probably effectuate itself?

I'd say that's a #1 thing.

Secrecy is an important part of running any organization.

I worked for a company that was seriously tinfoil. I thought, over the top, but they had certain policies, and I abided by them; whether or not I agreed with them.

Ahh, that makes sense. I was thinking of #1 being primarily external focused.
