Default NASA to Release "SECRET" Survey - a different perspective

Recently, Larry Dighera posted:

Would it have been possible for Congress to have caused this data to
be made public if NASA had been privatized and the study conducted by
the private corporation contracted to fulfill NASA's role?

It seems that the opinions expressed here support the idea that the report
should be released in its entirety. However, I heard a comment from a NASA
spokesman on the yesterday's evening news that adds a dimension that I
haven't seen discussed, and I wonder if the folks here would feel
differently in light of this new information.

The spokesman said that the information was gathered with the
understanding that the anonymity of the participants would be protected,
and that as it stands, the comments could be traced back to the sources
(could that be why NASA wanted the data destroyed?).

So... if you were a participant in the survey who had an unreported
incident of significance, how would you feel about this data being
"outed"?
