But if you look at what obscurity is always used to refer, it's "this ordered system has *so much structure* nobody could ever figure it all out". That's a very different argumentory path than "there is nothing to figure out, they simply mathematically have to know this secret or brute force".
You have chosen "I elect to play by attempting a definition for which there can be no agreement." Your question: What's the difference between secret and obscure? Could you quantify this, say, with a particular number of bits of entropy?
