It seems unacceptable that a statement could stand like "X is 52%
classified" where X is not an aggregate disconnected set of things, but
some single fact in context. It would be just muddy guidance. The fact
in context can be disclosed to a specific audience, or it cannot. It
can't be disclosed 52% of the time.
