I think this is a reasonable question to ask. I will note that in this case, if your guess is right about what happened, the breaking of the agreement is something that it turned out the counterparty endorsed, or at least, after the counterparty became aware of the agreement, they immediately lifted it.
I still think there’s something to maintaining all agreements regardless of context, but I do genuinely think it matters here if you (accurately) expect the entity you’ve made the secret agreement with would likely retract it if they found out about it.
(Disclaimer that I have no private info about this specific situation.)
