There’s more nuance. When you go public with an accusation or problem, you can’t control when, who or how it is used. It’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to frame the narrative effectively to get something of value.

For example, an issue related to something that you expressed in your public can be picked up, embraced and extended and turned into a racial or other high attention/impact issue. The press can run with it and create a mess. More likely, nobody cares, and you’ll be painted as a crazy person, and crazy people go away.
