I like that term just fine, but in more polite company, we refer to it
as "reverse engineering." Kinda a 90's-speak term for BBJ.

Usually, though, you end up disappointed; the "secret" is almost always
nothing special. Hence the "secret sauce" is mostly "secret" and little
"sauce". So it has to be hidden. Shakespeare had a term for this; he
called it "muddying your waters to make them look deep". Cute, huh?
