They do need to hold back to make sure the evdence is verified.
No I didn't...paper (and TV) proprietors will put a clamp on people going to other organisations/papers, just in order to "scoop" a story. Nature is doing the same, for the same reason...to grab the monopoly on the story. That's not what a journal is supposed to do. A journal is supposed to disseminate information without prejudice or favour. Not fight for the right to publish information which should be public domain (or at least academic domain) anyway. Or restrict the publishing of that information in order to gain some perceived advantage.
