Transparency isn't only or even primarily for the BS, by the way. Opportunity makes thieves, even if the WA "try" to do the honorable thing. If there are never any consequences, the temptations to go back to bad behaviour is often too great .... hence serial affairs/ re-ignition of old affairs. Transparency helps the WA help himself.
All the BS that "trust" and "look towards the future" when there has been no pattern of good behaviour over an extended period of time to base said trust on are just kidding themselves. And will be hurt and surprised to find, 6 months, or 2 years from now, that they were lied to, yet again.
