That is said on the assumption that the archived chats we've seen weren't deliberately staged and set so we could find them, in order to manipulate us.
Which is a very likely possibility, considering many of them have seemingly arbitrary start and end points for chat archives, contain conversations that seem much better held face-to-face between characters who could have
had a conversation face-to-face at the time, and (until the Cat's intrusion made them decide on "better security") had oddly specific archive titles.
Besides, it's a huge fallacy to suggest that just because we have a potential advantage, we should amortize that by giving an even
greater advantage to our enemies (yes, greater, because access to our chatroom means access to
all the log, not just random selections).
At this point, it will be impossible to keep the Cabal or spies out; still, as I pointed out in another thread, the unlogged private chat capability is an excellent tool for discussing secret plans one-on-one with trusted metaguards.
Lead by example. Get lost in a swamp.
