That's not what it means. No one disputes you should keep passwords, private keys, certificates, etc. safe.

It's about obscuring the architecture of a system in order to protect it. And I agree this shouldn't be a tactic. It can be a byproduct of your disclosure strategy (i.e. AWS don't disclose how their products are built) but not a security mechanism (i.e. AWS don't meet all the certification standards BECAUSE they're not disclosing how their products are built). Just my 2 cents.

I read your entire rant and it's based on the sole idea that the EU is a cult, not a single quantifiable fact. This is the kind of judgement that leads to bad decisions. I think it's best we make this kind of decisions based on numbers rather than abstract thinking.

For the record, I want to understand why people voted "leave" but every time I try I end up reading something like this which doesn't get me closer, it just upsets me.
