But I just thought it was unnecessary for us not to know these things. I don't think it matters really.
Often this is the case, but caution dictates these secrecy things. And sometimes it does matter. There's a deal going on now which I was allowed to talk about to not allowed because a rival was making serious (and futile) problems with the final negotiations. It was all frankly quite annoying and made the rival look like an pompous ass.
I'm all for more information but when deals are being made it is bad form to reveal anything and even when the ink has dried the PR guys often want things on their own timetable - and fail to utilize all their resources to generate buzz and word of mouth.
