This is an obvious concern, and much more general and salient than this particular situation, so just stating it explicitly doesn't seem to contribute anything.
Relevant links: Absurdity heuristic, Illusion of transparency.
I had thought that the implicature in that question was more than just rhetorical stating of something that I hoped would be obvious.
It was meant to be a way of politely asking about things such as:
Was this video meant just for LW, or do random people come by the videos on YouTube, or where-ever else they might wind up linked?
How popular is this blog and do I need to be more careful about mentioning such things due to lurkers?
Shouldn't someone be worrying explicitly about public image (and if there is, what are they doing about it)?
Etc.
Lastly, I read the link on the Absurdity Heuristic, yet, I am not so certain why it is relevant; The importance of the Absurd in learning or discovery?
