publics open access

A thought process regarding open access and publics:

1. My project is purportedly open access
2. I assume that more access is a better thing
3. After examination, it seems that the open access aspect of this project is much more limited than the 'utopic' abstract notion of that phrase purports.
4. Open access means information can reach a wider public
5. But the public is in fact a myriad of small publics I create through this project, mostly white, male academics.
6. Therefore, because this public is so much smaller and the ideal of open access is that a wider public is a good thing, my public(s) is(are) limited
7. My Public History is limited and therefore, not as good as if it reached more people
