Not necessarily. We don't know what he was going to say, so we hardly have enough evidence to say it would be unhelpful. Also, while this forum doesn't necessarily have a lot of influence, there are many people who are mildly influential that like to peruse this site. Just the chance of inspiring such a person would likely have an impact on technological development. Not a significant one, but maybe enough to cancel out the contribution we have made by reading and considering this post.
I think more helpful people than unhelpful people come here. I remember a friend in grad school who had someone publish an algo he had discovered in the journal issue 1 before his publication, halfway across the world. I think it's kind of like an avalanche, there is some sense to being quiet until you know enough to have a reasonable estimate of the impact of your action. As a rule though, I'd rather see ideas traded here than behind DARPA firewalls.
