Proposed Adage: "Cognitus' Law of Headlines" ("cognitus" from Latin for known, recognized, acknowledged - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cognitus#Latin )

Similar to Betteridge's law of headlines ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... ), this proposed adage states:

"Any time that something is referred to as 'Secret' in a headline, it is not actually secret at all."
