You’re right that I don’t have to talk about everything that I find. To take an uncontroversial example, if in my day job I find an easy way to make a bioweapon, I’m not going to blog how to do that.
But if you’re not going to talk about it if you conclude X, are you also not going to talk about it if you conclude not-X? If not then you’re making it much harder for other people to figure out what is true (more).
