I used to do this, i.e. try to be super open about everything. Not any more. The reason being the information bottleneck. There is no way I can possible transmit all relevant information, and my experience with funding evaluation (and some second hand anecdotes) is that I don’t get a chance to clear up any misconception. So if I have some personal issue that someone might think would interfere with my job, but which I have strong reason to think would not be a problem for complicated reasons, then I would just keep quiet about it to funders and other evaluators.
Sure in a perfect world where there where not information constraints (and also assuming everyone is aligned) then reviling everything is an optimal policy. But this is not the world we live in.
