" When things are hidden, there will always be people who object, and who will then go out of their way to preserve and store what is being hidden, so that someone can find it later, either intentionally or by simply stumbling over it.

I smothered them under strata of official history instead.” “Never hide, just overwhelm,” Cardenia joked. "
