Seems to me that each of these deal killers is a red herring. 1. My data set is too large = I have no idea what's essential. 2. I worked too hard to get this data, I'm not going to give it away = I'm a mediocre scientist competing against a lot of other mediocre scientists - this data might be my one chance to win the lottery. Oh, and just for the record, I don't really give a shit about the progress of my field - fuck 'em, fuck 'em all, me, me, me. 3. Newbies will misunderstand my data and pervert it = What the fuck am I posting on Slashdot for? As one of the mathematicians involved in computation of the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Vogan polynomials for E8, I say - they now exist, they're marvelous, and you're welcome to them. (I suspect you'll pass though - I would if I were in closer proximity to some other marvel.)
