The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the
    more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership 
    and planning coterie. This must result in minimization 
    of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an 
    increase in cognitive "secrecy tax") and consequent 
    system-wide cognitive decline resulting in decreased 
    ability to hold onto power as the environment demands
    adaption.
