I'm firmly of the belief that the argument to suppress a knowledge or technology "for the good of mankind" is actually an argument "for the good of the suppressor", and that the two are not in any way necessarily congruent.

Oh, I'm fairly sure some things really *shouldn't* be let out - for one counterexample, how about a brew-it-in-your-living-room-with-common-household-ingredients recipe for a nuclear explosion bigger (albeit cleaner) than the ones of World War II?
I've seen a piece of fiction with what purports to be such a recipe. I figure the odds of its actually working are quite slim... but I, for one, have not been fool enough to try it out.
