Yes, I'm sure Eliezer is hiding SOME of his ideas, out of a combination
of motives.
Security may be one of his concerns; another may be the feeling he's
expressed that no one (or almost no one) understands his more subtle
ideas anyway.
Or maybe he's just afraid of my criticisms ;-) [joke!]
However, I stand by my prior statement that Eliezer is not hiding a
*correct* design for an AGI. Of course I don't know this for sure, but
I'm pretty confident.
Personally, I am hiding a LOT of my ideas about AGI, for my own
combination of motives. I'm hiding the general computer science ideas
about Novamente simply because the current written material on it is
still in rough form and not ready for dissemination. And I'm hiding the
code and software architecture details for security and
commercial-property reasons.
