I'm almost inclined to wonder if the primary source wasn't some very strongly anti-Durova editor. But of course that couldn't happen because editors who frown on secrecy would never try to do that, nor try to use a newspaper to get their way. Frak'n ridiculous.
That's interesting-- I totally don't see going to the press (in the abstract) as a bad thing, I see it as a valuable RFC from the larger community-- in the case, the community of humans.
But I wonder if I really believe that, or if I just believe that in this case because I tend to agree that the Durova Incident was such a huge deal. When you have a human brain, you can never really be sure-- or at least, I can't. :)
