That is irrelevant to the discussion and not a 'case'. It is a straw man argument which says more about you than me.
As an example of silo mentality :
There was a time when the presence of a submarine around the Falkland Islands was secret and need to know only. The RAF did not need to know. Until one day a Harrier 'mate' announced in clear he had just seen one, which was then confirmed, in clear, to the one of ours.
