Yup. Really, what is at stake here is a basic philosophical (and ideological and theological) difference. In a democracy, there should be a form of transparency where failures are supposed to act as a reminder that we are all human. In a theocracy, failures cannot be allowed to see the light of day since that would imply that the theocrats do not understand "God's Will".
