Subj: Should David Levine be doing this?

Can I object to David Levine (who is apparently the creator of this game) maintaining the "what we know" page? I just looked at it, and it contains information that (as far as I was concerned) was still very tentative or possibly wrong. If he only adds information when we get it right, that gives us an unfair advantage. (Should I now assume that W has exactly the meanings that he describes?) I think it's much better if the author of a puzzle remains totally silent about the answers. Perhaps the "what we know" page should only contain things we explicitly submit.
