Answer:

That statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase 'plausibly be said' means that we can find some sort of justification from the action, even a little.

When working for an employer, most engineers will be required to sign a contract that prevent them from giving a certain information to the public. This made them legally binded to obey their employer and hide a certain information when the employer's action breach an ethical code. Otherwise, the employer will have the power to ruin their careers
