it's just a value that if revealed would derail any and all threads

By saying that in a community as insatiably curious as LW you now have dozens of people (including me) persistently wondering what the heck it could be.

I think you're maybe making it a lot worse by being deliberately coy? If you actually wanted to avoid derailing a thread, wink-nudge-hint wasn't the way to go. I'm not even sure why it was necessary to mention your secret objectionable value at all if you truly didn't want to talk about it.

If you look closely, you'll notice that it was your relentless evasiveness rather than the belief itself which has caused that derailment.
