Intellectual Property, Privacy and Entrepreneurs

I just read the article below, which discusses a common thread amongst entrepreneurs, and that is failure. Specifically, elegant failure, and learning from it. Additionally, the article discusses how the entrepreneur in question avoids patent/Intellectual Property (IP)-specific fields for his venture capital (VC) efforts.

My thoughts about this are:

-IP/commercial privacy is a competitive advantage.
-If everything is open commercially, isn't that a dangerous precedent for individual privacy?
-This entrepreneur discusses openness due to high costs for IP licensing, so why not make IP less cost prohibitive?
