Do you not see the purpose behind my hypothetical, though? There are situations where revealing the truth can only lead to bad consequences. It is not an absolute that "The truth must be revealed!"
I don't know. I think that Renall's answer covered the "bad consequences" bit. Not to mention your "consequence" is a result of evil lashing out, rather than some kind of nebulous unpreventable reaction to events.

You need better arguments. You havn't even answered mine, and frankly I think my points are much easier to rebut that Renall's common sense ones.

As for why a villain's memory should be reviled after their death? Because it provides closure to the still living victims of the villains crime. Sometimes they need it in order to move on.

Ange did read Eva's diary before deciding to move on with her life, after all. You're arguing against even that much, which is much worse than even what Ryuukishi put forth. That's funny, in a way.
