It's not clear-cut, at all. It'd be hard to defend any claim premised on a broad agreement in the field about how to handle disclosure.
In Vanhoef's case, though, he's bound by standards his university has for this stuff, not just his own personal preferences.
Absolutely, it was wrong for me to try and speak for everyone. In my own professional circle, this is what's accepted, but there are many who think otherwise, so my apologies.
