How could you not!? Think of the bragging rights. Or, perhaps the havoc. That persons could sit on this secret for long periods of time seem... difficult to maintain. If you know it's broken and you've discovered it; surely someone else could too. And they've also kept the secret?

I agree on the evidence/absence of conjecture. However, the impact of the secret feels impossible to keep.

Time will, of course, tell; it wouldn't be the first occasion where that has embarrassed me.

There are a large number mathematicians gainfully employed in breaking such things without talking about it.

Some people are able to shut the hell up. If you're not one of them, you're not getting told. Some people can keep a secret. Some people can't. Others get shot. Warframe is a hilarious example where people can't shut the hell up about things they know they should keep quiet about.
