Just on phrasing it sounds good to me (I can find problems with it if I
try, but then I can do that with almost anything), but the problem is
that there are two different options which it would apply to, and they
are not immediately adjacent to one another - though they are very
close, which means that simply repeating the paragraph wuld appear
repetitive at best. Where would this text be put?

side of it.

Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
