That may be the intent, but it is very anti-science.

Partial disclosures are actively pro-science.

Evidence that a hard problem is solvable, and information on solution characteristics, are a big help to others.

Even non-disclosure is just science-neutral, not anti-science.

Partial disclosures are common where disclosures involve risky things, or where a problem was solved as part of an economic concern. But there are non-conflicting opportunities to partially inform others.
