Thanks for the understanding. I just wonder sometimes, if open everything is always good. I get that complete openness is part of the zeitgeist on this site and within the dominant liberal western social and political philosophy, but openness can sometimes lead to unintended negative consequences.
I believe that specialists in a field are the ones who will actually make use papers. Specialists should have access, that's something I can get behind, but the general public as you say won't make use of research.
I understand what you're saying about appealing to emotion though.
