there is a doctrine of born secret. and it is a contingency.
if i, or you, or anyone, was to independently realize how to increase yield of a weapon, or create a nuclear isomer weapon, it is secret upon conception.
knowledge is discoverable, and cant be stopped, only access to the tools of production can be stopped.
that is why you CANT stop motivated persons from making independent discovery, you have to prevent your adversary from knowing what you do/dont know, and what you are/are not doing.
