Anybody who publicly worries about "giving away" too much information about SEO has revealed himself to be an idiot. It's like worrying about giving away the secret to being a good writer, or a good musician. The techniques are useless except when married with enormous effort, practice, and craftsmanship.
Good point. Same point can be applied to success in business, or being a good photographer. Telling someone how to succeed in business, or how to be a great photographer, certainly doesn't make someone good in either of those. You'll accomplish it through your own efforts, if you have it in you.
