In response to "Tax board! An interesting theory on why Mitt won't release his 2009 return. -- (link)" by spamlet

It's an interesting recursive problem.

Don't release the returns because the information is more damaging than the questions about not releasing them, but then of course the longer it goes the more people question them and start thinking there's even something worse in them than there is. At what point does not releasing them become more damaging than releasing them?
