I find it interesting that you argued for hiding this kind of information, while not knowing what was stolen.

Yes, your argument is trivially true, how does it help us move forward?

The grand-parent commenter wrote "If they have secret data, that really ought to be a reason to withdraw their patent.".

The parent commenter helpfully explained how such statement is trivially false, in that there is value in keeping some data secret even though patents are involved.

I see it - there is something there. Ill read it again and inspect my own reactions to it.

Thank you! I mean that
