Ed, I'm not going to go there. It was a generalization which you are of course free to disagree with.
I do understand (from personal experience) any tendency to protect one's own intellectual capital - when you share your own research in good faith, (or don't share and it's pilfered) you can end up unpleasantly surprised as to how it's used. I admittedly am sitting on quite a bit of research that I would have shared ten years ago, but more recent experience has shown me the folly of such an attitude.
