Then why show it at all?

I thought that Shay's point about establishing trust was quite far 
reaching and filled in piece of the puzzle for me that I couldn't quite 
get to in my own mind.  In short, it helped me further define what the 
symbiosis is between an expressive act and the community which it must 
take place within to have any meaning.  This given our mutual stance 
that private assemblies must be free to establish their own standards 
for individual freedom internally.

No I don't think that a 'work' without an audience can stand on its own. 
  And if you don't engage the community that forms your audience in a 
genuine way, you don't really have an audience.
