The easiest way to see this is alchemical correspondence. Treachery is inherently about piercing security. Piercing security can't be upheld by security. Not how such things work.
The traitor needs to get inside your fence. He believes the fence will keep him out, if you know it needs to keep him out. The traitor himself believes security is effective and profitable - try believing him.
If the traitor tries to fence off your stuff after stealing it, he condemns the way he himself acquired the stuff. The hypocrisy is a confession. If your fence was wrong, his fence is also wrong. To open a hole in your security, he has to open a hole in his own.
You can't build a fence around cutting a hole in fences, not without cutting a whole in the hole-fencing fence.
Indeed if a thing is not effectively securable, it is treachery. The fact is reliable enough to use as a test or instrument of measurement.
