Why Is It Worse?

"Publishing information we know to be
tainted is worse than not publishing the
tainted information. That's why I'm not
releasing the results of the first survey."

Hello again, Sandy. Again, thanks for
participating here, and putting those
"Sandy ran away" criticisms to rest.

Anyways, about what I quoted above:

Especially considering you would be able
to proclaim in big, bold, letters that it's
tainted, right before you before you gave
the data, the question has to be asked:

*Why* is publishing that data worse
than not publishing it?

Again, remember, we would know that
you consider that data to be tainted -
worthless. There would be no doubt in
anyone's mind. No doubt at all. So again,
why?


...Side question to anybody else reading
this: Do *you* agree that info should be
kept secret? If so, why?

(I'm wondering if Sandy has any support
on this issue at all...)
