He could serialise it in the Deseret News. He could self publish. He could post it online. He could present it at Fair. He could present it to the Maxwell Institute for them to publish. Etc
He won't.
All of this assumes that he has actually written anything. I may be wrong, but I don't think I've heard of anyone that has seen any of his work on this. Maybe he has been slaving away at his opus, but there is no evidence of it.
Maybe the MI would have published his work had he submitted anything.
I make no such assumption! ;-)

When a piece of research is a labor of love, you want to share it with anyone who even shows the slightest interest in reading it, because you want feedback.
Will keeping his stuff under wraps is a bit silly, this isn’t some cold war arms race, it is scholarship.

Uh, Amen.
