I do not agree with you on the plausibility of such a rule interpretation because all laws (and that includes game rules as well), apart from their phrasing also have a context/background. It's not just the words, it's the circumstances they apply to.

Therefore, why in a game where the designer gets in all the trouble to establish rules guaranteeing the secrecy and outright uncertainty of the exchange, would there be a rule that substantially cancels all this effort?

For me the answer is logical and clear. Actually RP is one of few games that is based so clearly in one principle only, to the extent that there cannot be any misinterpretation of the few rules.

As always though, the easiest way is to ask Reiner. He had a public website and address, should I recall correctly.
