All of that sounds normal to me. Including filtering out trade-secrets, which is completely normal when working with trade-secrets in grad school too. Additionally, it's completely normal to filter out intellectual property you might plan to patent; confidential information; proprietary industrial information; information protected by law; dangerous findings (e.g., hackers often omit details of an exploit until the relevant vendor has had time to fix); and a few other categories.
Maintaining a positive, constructive tone is also completely normal. For example, failed experiments are typically described as progressive steps toward an ultimate success; unforeseen problems are discoveries; and major issues are seen as research challenges to be overcome. Or, ya know, stuff like that.
I mean, is that all this story's about? Because if that's it, then it seems like nothing substantial. But if that's the case, why is this in the news?
