Your last sentence seems so ridiculous that I'm posting publicly here for the
first time in ... well, a long time ... just to call you on it.  It's one thing
to not want to explain how you test.  Fine, you have a trade secret, and you
want to keep it that way.  If my living depended on it, I might well do the
same.  But please don't try to hide behind some mealy mouthing about how your
non-disclosure benefits those who remain ignorant of your testing technique.
That doesn't pass a stink test, not by a long shot.
