    I think you are jumping to conclusions here. The OP (at least at this
    point in the thread...I haven't read to the end yet) has not done
    anything that indicates he won't reveal his program. Rather, it sounds
    like he's asking if there is any point in it--he's found something that
    is definitely new *to* *him* and wants to know if it is something that
    is new to everyone else.

    That is a very reasonable thing for him to do.
