<<The Gemara refers to his anava; this fear is nowhere to be found in
this analysis. His fear of what people would say was not a fear of the
people, but of the erroneous halachic conclusions they would reach.
It's called yir'as Shamayim, as in ekev anava.>>

and that over-rides pikuach nefesh? 

=====================================================================
There's a similar issue where the Roman's sent 2 emissaries to determine
whether the torah was biased against non-Jews.  They were taught all of
torah and found 2 examples but decided not to report.  Why didn't chazal
simply leave these out? IIRC R'Bleich explained that ziyuf hatora must
override pikuach nefesh even on this scale (it was a tape shiur I heard
years ago so....)
