Revealing secrets is kind of the entire point of the patent: you tell everyone how it's done, in return you get 20 years monopoly. US patents even have a "best mode" requirement where you have to describe the best way known to you right now, where many other countries allow you to describe an inferior version and still get full protection. In reality you can get patents granted that are somewhat vague. It's not like the patent office actually tests if the patent text is sufficient to replicate your invention.
