Everyone knows you have a secret password.

Not so many people know that YC has a secret [insert whatever it is that they have that is secret but that we don't know about here].

I'm not sure precisely what you're getting at, but I'm not trying to argue that all secrets are good, merely that some secrets are not bad.

I also have plenty of personal secrets that you don't know exist, but I don't see why that would change anything.
