I agree with your weakened claim that secrets are very difficult to keep
I think the mindspace here is what I was taught. A shared secret is no longer that. That the more people which know, the more impossible it will be.
As humans, we must conceptualize different sides of the problem, differently. As a person attempting to maintain secrecy, the impossible nature must be kept in mind at all times.
This is doubly true with some personality types, which think everything is a game. I've often wondered if some people feel mental pain, when held to their word.
So framing is important.
But from the other side, one can point to exceptions to the rule.
