This is why the "secret scientists don't want you to know" always turns out to be some pseudoscience bs that at best is misinformation and at worst is actively harming people. So, yes, they are things scientists don't want you to know.

I would argue that we still want them to know about pseudoscience, but also know enough about everything else to understand how the pseudoscience is wrong.
