It is not at all obvious to me why this is being voted down. Anyone care to illuminate me?
It is the kind of comment that I expect to get a few initial downvotes but to earn those back over time and end up net positive.
Two factors which I would expect some individuals to object to:
I did, as Eugine noted, support leaving part of the territory unmapped just because some can’t handle the truth. We really do want to avoid making such compromises too often. Yet since the approach of being cautious when discussing matters of human social behaviours work is already in place I like to acknowledge it.
Where people sometimes find it offensive to have the dirty laundry of how human social behaviours work discussed openly they will usually find it even more offensive to say that humans often find it offensive to have accurate discussions about human social behaviour. That breaks not only breaks the social illusion it points out that we liked fooling ourselves.

Huh. I didn’t parse it that way at all—I read it as saying that social behavior is something that we can’t usefully talk about here, for a variety of reasons including the low average skill level, and thus we need to be doing independent study on the subject.

That’s true as well, just didn’t fit in the bullet point—I wanted to include the aspect that Eugine would have taken.
