gollark: If it was hypothetically secret, then hypothetically, telling you information about it could hypothetically permit cryptanalysis.
gollark: Do you know how "secrecy" works, in general?
gollark: Anyway, hypothetically, if I was reading out secret data, it would be very stupid to just tell people what it was.
