"I heard about a small business that makes bingo cards for non-technical ....created by some guy in Japan"

Trying to say this in a nice way: I personally don't think it's good form to use these "insider" type things. Would be curious how many people are aware of what you are referring to or even for that matter who "PG" is (although that one for sure I understand as being a necessary part of some indoctrination..)

That said since I know what you are talking about I found it enjoyable!

Anyway, for one thing it's not particularly googleable. So it's not like saying "write your own shell script perl is to much work for that" where because this site is for hackers and further "shell script" or "perl" can be understood by newbies by, say, "searching that site funded by YC that is run by a guy in PA and has a funny game like name with an animal in it".[1]

I do agree with your point. Specifically because not knowing something can sometimes be an advantage instead of a disadvantage because you can be more creative in your approach.
