It was pretty unclear what the actual reason for not releasing the scrolls was. The article mumbles something about 'power', but doesn't really explain what that means. It's sort of a weird end to a lengthy (and pretty wordy) article, that builds at great length towards the development of a technique to read the scrolls, and then sort of tosses in the fact that they can't use the technique without really exploring why outside of a single ambiguous sentence. Its hardly clear why locking the scrolls in the basement for another few decades would increase the Institutes power. Having a bunch of unreadable papayri sitting in a box doesn't do much for the Institute, while having them revealed to be the only copies of works by Epicures (or whomever) could only increase their prestige/power/monetary value.
