That has been grossly exaggerated.

Those who know often post; so far, nobody who knows has
posted inappropriate material which was not either otherwise
declassified or rendered non-sensitive by the passage of time.

You are right, George. It's rather hard to put "Nobody who has had to
go through the processing, briefing, and indoctrination required to
reach the levels where such knowledge is certain is going to blather
it all over the planet to people unknown in a global forum - The only
stuff you'll find that's not an outhouse rumor is available through
unclassified, open sources, and is available to all the public." into
a simple sentence. Such is the problem with pithy aphorisms.

Or, as another P.A. states: "All generalities are wrong. Even this
one."
