  Pick your poisin! Ignorance v. Arrogance

  Deliberate Ignorance v. Deliberate Arrogance
  
  We are always left in some sort of darkness because you really don't know what you don't know; i.e., there is always something you don't know and often you don't know what that is. That is a form of automatic ignorance. If you think you know it all, then that is deliberate arrogance. Which is more affordable-- ignorance or arrogance?

  I think this is a technique using popularly by many governments in a less democratic country. Restriction of information makes the leader more powerful and make the followers more daring in implementing order.
  To me this scheme is just like an old trick and I wonder are we going baceward if we apply to this scheme even though there is a fact that restriction in information manytimes evidences high efficiency.

  the truth will out

  this is the industry standard method, as you say it's not ethical I'm surprised you even bothered to mention it - I thought everyone knew this. Integrity is more important than profits, look what happens when the truth comes out into the open as in your linked story. It may work in the short term but what about the future?

  Integrity + Ethics + Hard Work + A Customer First Attitude = $$$
  
  A lack of ethics has eroded the business climate in America and caused us to lose credibility internationally. U.S. businesses need to be the standard bearers for business worldwide.
