Standards made in secret lose what a community brings
Quote
When you do it in secret, you don't have the insight that communities bring. And you don't, you can. You can short circuit a lot of wasted effort and a lot of Mediocre ideas. by just having more people give their opinion.

Summary
On the AMP ad spec, written privately under NDAs: Dave understands that secrecy may have been the only way to get the big players into one room. But decisions made inside the secret bubble never get outside comment. Open review cuts short a lot of wasted effort and mediocre ideas just by letting more people weigh in, and doing it in secret kneecaps otherwise good efforts.

discussion in the open instead of in secret is super important because if you saw the discussion as it was playing out you would realize that it that that's what the thinking was
