I see your point as well. Honestly I don't have super strong feelings on it either way. But some have very very strong feelings on the nondisclosure side and I have a hard time understanding that.
I remember a few years ago Christies was selling lots and some people in the area went in person and realized some of the lots were poorly identified (cabinets photos I think) and much more valuable than advertised. Do they have an obligation to tell the world about the fruits of their research? I'd say no. Are they an ahole it they decide to do so? I'd also say no.
