I don't know for sure (not in that world) but wouldn't this make sense from a compartmentalisation perspective?
You have a person that knows X and a person that knows Y, but knowing both X and Y is vastly more valuable. To keep things secure you ban the X group from knowing about Y things regardless of how they found out.
It's going to produce absurdities sometimes, but the basic principle makes sense.
