There's a saying in Estonian, literally translated: "who wants to eat sausages is better off not knowing how sausages are made". Sausages look tasty, meaty and easy to consume. In reality such products often contain 70% "garbage" instead of meat. Which also means that even if some company wants to do a "real meat" sausage people who know what meat is and care about what they eat are still suspicious. Those who don't care can easily be fed sausages that contain "100% artificial taste, coloring, smell and filling materials" (in small print) and "100% of needed daily vitamins and minerals" in large print. Eventually keys, hashes and similar parameters need to be exposed, if the system is supposed to be used by people who are not sheep.
