In what sense does a window or a node "conceal" anything? Perhaps you're thinking of curtains and adequately-implemented authentication? If I call a phone number, and the answering machine comes on and tells me some corporate secrets, would you still compare my nefarious conduct to the physical acts of physically entering someone else's home and depriving them of their physical goods?

By the way, it's disingenuous to introduce a scenario (of dubious relevance) that inspires strong feelings and then to deny you intended to evoke those feelings.
