yes, but even within those "secret groups", there are SOP and conventions of intergrity.

Thanks ! ... if anyone else wants to know :
SOP stands for Standard Operating Procedure. Within secret scientific research groups, SOPs are established guidelines or instructions for carrying out routine operations to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with regulations. These SOPs help maintain integrity, confidentiality, and efficiency within the research group.

Secret scientific research groups? Lol. Anyone with a passing familiarity with government work knows about SOPs.

GPT told me it was "Standard Operating Procedure" in the context of the previous comment. That wasn enough for me. I didn't have to know it applies to your job in an English speaking country.

You're over here asking GPT about "secret scientific research groups" but wanna point out that it's an English acronym? You could've asked Encyclopedia Britannica instead and gotten the right answer.
