It's become sadly common to suppress true research results because gatekeepers are afraid of the wrong people using them. It's gotten so bad that when I see an instance of egregious academic censorship, I think to myself "Yep. That's probably true.".

At both society and personal levels, the truth is always the best policy. Suppressing the truth, even for an ostensibly good reason, never ends well.

Maybe there's something to the censored article. Maybe there isn't. But whenever I see heavy handed censorship, I have to ask myself, "is there something here?"
