Your point of view makes sense. Hence, I've written about my partial results: http://lesswrong.com/lw/h54/i_need_help_device_of_imaginary_results_by_i_j/8pow

In my defence, I will say that I decided not to share my approach not because of "we should reduce bias no matter what" reasoning, but because I truly think that my approach is (a) wrong and (b) attractive, and (c) the problem is difficult; hence, the information about can be dangerous.

But it makes sense to post this sort of information in comments anyway, so I did.
