So apparently either "that which can be destroyed by the truth should be" is false, or you've written dangerous falsehoods which would overtax the rationality of our readers. Eliezer's response above seems to imply the former.

Did you read the "riddle theory" link? The riddle is not dangerous because it's false, but because it's incomprehensible.

And of course, if you meant to list all the possibilities, you left out the ones where E. is just wrong about the danger.
