It’s just strategy.

If I have a penalty kick and you’re the keeper, I want to know if you know where I kick the ball most often. If I know that you know, I will kick somewhere else.

So if you’re the keeper and you know my habits, you have a slight advantage if I don’t know that you know. So you would hide the list.

Easy hey?
