So if you are against full disclosure (or near-full disclosure) in AV, then you are against full disclosure in general security as well.
Writing a virus can be done by any programmer, once they have the vulnerability.
In fact it may be better to explain virus code in public, so that legitimate researchers can study and comment on defenses. Because it is for certain that the 'underground' already has a copy. It is only we that don't.
