There's some wonderful Sicilian Reasoning in that: We can't reveal the rule because
the Bad Guys would figure out what we're looking for. But the Bad Guys already know
what we're looking for, but we'll keep the rule secret anyway because we know they
know what we're looking for. The thing is, the Bad Guys know that too...
