@ThomasKlimpel sry cant read german am relying on your english notes. here are some other nearby concepts that relate to so-called "hearsay/ code of silence" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omert%C3%A0 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_secrets_privilege en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press etc!

+ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy

maybe something to research for your next story or novel :)

(alas still not really following the particular uses of your terms)

re this topic an old english expr occurs to me:

> never attribute to malice what can adequately be described by/ as stupidity.

but, it seems another comeback is relevant:

> not everything in the world can be described by stupidity.
