To tie this to the topic. We should not publish up-to-date and accurate
information on how to create great harm whether it is about A-bombs or
reporters held captive by the Taliban, and we don't, our A-bomb plans
will produce a bomb that will barely go off, witness the North Korea
fizzles.

That is because we generally do what it takes to avoid doing harm. And
that is a good thing. It is simply wrong to do dumb harmful stuff.
