It is true that the more important something is, and the more people are affected by it, the more transparency should be required.

I mean, should we know about the state of food production in the world? The state or drinking water? The pollution levels in the air, soil and water?

But sadly, even in these domains we don't have all the information...

Required by who? Here's the question nobody is answering: What if the Saudis just say "No, we're not going to provide transparency. You're just going to have to trust us." What then? What's the "or else"?

that is exactly what they are doing... and may in all likelyhood keep doing. Leaving us A) without any hard data B) without any oil (unless of course you actually believe Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves).
