In your home, if you don't lock your doors, you can still expect a person to knock before entering.

On the web, there aren't doors unless you put them there. Even if you put up a door, there's no locks until you install them.

To continue the analogy, not linking to a page on your site is like putting something on your back porch. Sure, they have to walk around the back or drive down the alley to see that stuff, but it's still out in the open.
