It follows directly that you stop trusting people who tell you “Don’t tell me if you hide any Jews, I don’t want to let anything slip in front of the SS”. Is that actually a conclusion you wish to endorse?
No, but all that requires is adding the qualifier “academic” to the noun “subject” in my principle, so it can’t get misapplied to very unusual and extreme situations where knowledge of the specific situation could be more dangerous than the lack of that knowledge.
