There are business segments where this flies. In most other areas you'll be robbed blind and left for dead on the side of the street.

I disagree actually, though for reasons other than in the article.

The big danger is not in being robbed, really, but in bigger established companies coming out with a clone to compete against you and then, after they drive you out of business, dropping the clone as not profitable enough.

Which could happen regardless of if you tell people your ideas or not.
