Why didn't DD reveal Voldemort's identity? Some Tigana spoilers

Not replying to anybody in particular .. just a few random thoughts ...

1.	If it is soo important for you (as some wizard in ww - not you the group members ) to know who lv really is, and if you hate soo much to be kept in the dark by a bearded man - why no go out and seek the information yourself rather than waiting for the same bearded guy to broadcast the info on television ? He put all the effort to research it - so those who haven't done so must wait till he choose to release the information. He is not paid by the government to run a public information booth on LV. He is not stopping anybody else to do the same research. On one hand we blame him for not telling people all they need to know - on the other he is blamed for playing parental. Not fair. That's the kind of burden people try to force on intellect (As Ayn Rand pointed out in Atlas Shrugged).

2.	Even if you know LV IS Tom Riddle – that doesn't change the fact that LV is THE most powerful wizard present – even DD can only match him when he is at his best – not beat him. Nobody ever actually defeated him in a duel ( w/o help from elder wands or shared core wand or love magic etc ). Even if you laugh at him – that will be the last thing you do. So giving this info out will not make much difference. General public is not interested to know who he is. All they care about is keeping him as far as possible from themselves and/or their family. Anyone who cannot be considered as general public has his/her own agenda/plan/interest about LV. That is not going to be affected by a little interview from dd.


My first point may be a little subjective. Being a programmer, I always wander how/why people easily claim other people's brain property as their own, when they have neither paid for it nor given it the effort. Researching a historical info is no less a brain property I guess. Sorry if I am wrong legally.
