Is knowledge knowledge if unknown?

This is similar to founders/creators getting kicked out when mass marketing kicks in - who generated the wealth?

In terms of human good, unfortunately it's the latter.

And if the definition of the Scientific Method includes sharing with a community. If so, you cannot do science alone. But how big does the community need to be? Does sharing it with one other person enough? A small community? A large community? Everyone?

I think, if we're going to include sharing, it has to be with all humanity (broadly, to include other imtelligences). Wartime science isn't science.
