That might be Eliezer’s stated objection. I highly doubt it’s his real one (which seems to be something like “not releasing the logs makes me seem like a mysterious magician, which is awesome”). After all, if the goal was to make the AI-box escape seem plausible to someone like me, then releasing the logs—as in this post—helps much more than saying “nya nya, I won’t tell you”.

Yes, it’s not implausible that this motive is involved as well.
