I'm pointing out that the lead developer of the most successful MMO ever thinks that the benefits of having a PTR outweighs the need for secrecy.
Funny, go over to the WoW forums, go to their ptr beta forums, look at all the posts about things that are an issue for months that make it to live and turn into complaints on general.

Having a beta won't mean an end to echo chambers. Beta is to find bugs and squelch them. Beta doesn't mean they'll listen to other issues with the content they think is great as is.
