Got it. I don't think you or I are inherently wrong. What you describe, I call it secret. Not private. A password is secret. Giving it to someone else, even for a quick pick, is compromising it.
A driver's license is private, but if you show it to someone else, your personal information is not necessarily compromised - or so we are led to believe.
