Because knowing - and knowing whilst others know as well - are two different things.
Knowing something the general public does NOT know - or refuses to believe is true - is a burden that isn't fun to bear.
Nothing like being labeled a whack-job, conspiracy theorist, paranoid... the list goes on... simply because you admit to knowledge that seems absurd or terrifying to your fellow man.
But yeah - I suppose I'd want to know - because I'm a knowledge junkie. I've learned just to keep my mouth shut about things that anyone in the 'mainstream' public would look askance at.
