Transparency is the cure for most of our problems. Why does a business need secrecy? One reason to protect a key ingredient that enables their product to be greater than an opposing company's product. A trade secret.
When your trade secret is bullshit or addictive you are not serving the needs of your customers. You have become a scam artist, and deserve jail time.
