Deleting the Oxygen Destroyer

01Scenario

Serizawa destroys his notes and sacrifices himself while deploying the Oxygen Destroyer so no government can force him to reproduce it.

03Where the analogy breaks

Self-destruction and deleting research are extreme fictional choices, not a general policy prescription.
