Update Transparency value handbook content for readability

Dave Langemak requested to merge main-patch-3114 into main

Why is this change being made?

I believe the introduction section to the Transparency value could be clearer. Specifically:

  • Remove unsupported assertion (We are above average at keeping things confidential that need to be)
  • Removed idiom (poker face)
  • Refactor to have the opening paragraph support the statement "Be open above as many things as possible." Moved personal behavior to this paragraph. Moved exceptions to a separate paragraph.
  • Minor grammatical changes
