To me it's unclear whether you believe: a) that it's bad to try to keep the basilisk because such attempt was doomed to failure,
or b) that it's bad to try to keep it hidden because it's always bad to keep any believed-to-be infohazard hidden, regardless of whether you'll succeed or fail, or c) that it's bad to try to keep this basilisk hidden, because it's not a real infohazard, but it would be good to keep real infohazards hidden, which actually harm people you share them to.

Can you clarify to me which of (a), (b) or (c) you believe?
