    Um, I fail to see why this is important. You are correct, and in fact I may
    even be trying to ensure that no one else knows. But it still has an
    effect, in at least my thinking and even in the actions I take. If it NEVER
    impacted any of my actions, THEN it might have been useless, but I'm not
    certain that's ever the case, and even if it was it may still have an impact
    on the internal behaviour itself.
