1) Secrets always get out.
2) More importantly, why do we assume that the amcha has to be told a
story in order to get them to repent? Why "make up" a cause and effect
when they could be told to do what the halacha says to do when tragedy
strikes? There are so many dangers involved in saying things which no
knows if there are true or not.
