Yawn. I see that you have, once again, failed to address the actual question being asked.
Nor, for that matter, do you refute a specific example given that contradicts your earlier assertions.

Many soldiers and government employees are instructed that anything that they learn that common sense would suggest that might be classified should be treated as if it were classified until informed otherwise by competent authority.
Additionally, consider that, quite often, information that may later be classified is often first learned or created by someone who has no authority to officially classify the information as classified. Yet the person who first learns or creates the information must keep that information secret, unless otherwise instructed by a competent authority.
If you work in the US government (and I have no idea if you do, nor do I really care), then presumably you would already be aware of this commentary and extensions of it.
Or perhaps you don't, and you just get your information from the "kindercare that is Wikipedia."
