Sanskrit Aryans have a long history of preserving the knowledge through oral traditions. Reciting the verses in the most perfect way is more important than the meaning or the purpose of the verse itself. Thus, these supposedly secretive knowledge is not allowed to preserve in any other way than by transmitting from generation to generation through song of mouth,
On the other hand, script, even if it is invented much before than it is accepted , is scarcely used for secular purpose of communication. It was used more to signify the tantric symbolisms - for eg,m the devanagari script is supposed to have evolved out of tantric traditions.
Similarly, look at the pha(t)- this denotes a very ancient beejakshara, running from the Rg vedic times and you would notice that the devanagari way of writing pha(t) denotes a swastik, clearly amplifying the tantric origins of the script.
We can not say that sanskrit aryans did not know either fort building or script writing since Kosambi clearly says that the SA's are highly intellectual learning many cultural elements from the people they came into contact with. For such intellectuals, it is unbelievable that they did not know fortress building or writing , while Arkaim people, who are certainly in touch with Sanskrit aryans(whether SA owe their ancestry to Arkaim or not is a secondary matter here) knew high level of building forts and Mitanni, who considered SA as a sociological reference group so far as warfare and chariotry is concerned, knew script.
For SA's , Orthopaxy is more important than religion.
