I have never heard of a situation in the modern world where there was complete information scarcity, such that isolated individual phone calls would significantly improve the situation.
If I were looking for such evidence (as I would be if I were making the proposal you are discussing) I would expect to be able to find it. Since I’ve never seen such evidence, presenting it to me would be a very good idea; if this is recognized and no evidence is forthcoming, I’d assume that there is none.
I place very low probability on the existence of significant political events whose occurrence is completely unknown to the world at large for many years. I can imagine lots of pieces of evidence that could cause me to update this belief.
Would you have, if there were?
