I don't see the connection. That is a well documented feature of the
brain. Entirely involuntery as we have no control over it happening.
When we talk about secrets however, it is a thought process initiated
knowingly by us.

I think it's more of non disclosure of the known. The unknown can not
be a secret.
For instance, the number of stars in the universe is unknown, but if i
knew it, i could opt to tell you, unless i wanted to keep it
confidential or a 'secret'.
Does anyone know if Area 51 has the figures on that ? ;-)
