Unsatisfying answer to "why?": Because it is a machine-defined interface that is subject to change without notice and that was never designed or evaluated (beyond the non-interference requirements) for customer use. If we answered your "What is the secret?" question, it wouldn't be much of a secret, would it? :-) But, seriously, it's not really a secret in the cloak-and-dagger sense, it's just that it isn't an defined interface and is therefore not publicly documented.
