In order to avoid hypocrisy, one would need to avoid learning about exfohazards as if they were infohazards. Failing to avoid hypocrisy would run the risk of you actually having been rationalizing your own selfishness by deceiving yourself into believing that you were paternalistically monopolizing the information to keep others safe when in reality the information was never exfohazardous to begin with.
