    There comes a time when you can no longer keep something secret even if you try. The next step in getting this approved requires that some people be told about this that you must assume will not keep it secret (ie a journal that goes to libraries for anyone to read). Thus at this point they have to tell everyone who might invest, that way they can't be accused of telling their friends.
