This was in a small, mostly self-contained one-off script that tested
different design of experiment approaches with simulated datasets.

Actually, I should move the "secret" variable to the global level,
together with other global settings like the dataset size and noise
level. There it's accessible to both any functions that might be
interested in it and the user who might want to change it, after all.
