It's easy for the "#### it I'll sqawk" conjecture, but if you were in the same spot, it's really not that easy.
It's like people saying they'd knock someone out in a fight, but if they actually got into one, most people would just freeze or run away. Small man syndrome.

No, you’re thinking of people who hang out online saying they’d hit people “in real life.” People who say they’d knock someone out might not actually knock someone out, but they’re usually game to throw punches.
I think the point people are making is that the threshold between showing what you got and saying you got it and people who say you don’t are liars… isn’t very far.
Maybe people are just used to that fact that the world has seen plenty of whistleblowers risking a lot more for a lot less. And you’re saying someone won’t show evidence of what could be one of the biggest, life changing things our society has ever seen? Something that could change our understanding of the universe and ourselves entirely? Pretty cowardly.
