That's the Chatham House Rule, basically. Outsiders may not like it but it's there to encourage free conversation

Sort of.

"Under the Chatham House Rule, anyone who comes to a meeting is free to use information from the discussion, but is not allowed to reveal who made any particular comment. It is designed to increase openness of discussion."

Which I'd say is a bit different from absolute confidentiality.
