Here I agree: if you keep something secret, you can't then expect anyone else to work with or around you, so by the time your info comes out, it will probably clash horribly with what everyone else has been working on. And that will be nobody's fault but your own.

While I dislike this one, I keep getting stuck with it. If I've agreed not to pass on info I've been given, I'll keep my word, even if I think they're being an idiot.

Everyone's got the right to do as they wish with their material. Their wishes may be totally misguided in other opinions, but they still have that right. Only, they then have to live with the consequences: which certainly include everyone else laughing and ignoring them, or explaining what they think of the idea, in graphic detail.
