This is the worst kind of arrogance. All you're doing is reducing the number of people who'll understand what's actually going on, which not only makes it less likely to be used properly; it also makes debugging code that uses it more difficult.

You're deciding for other people what they should and should not know. Another word for this is gatekeeping.

Don't do that. You're not the other person. You can't read their minds, nor can you fathom their reasons. Deliberately hamstringing folks is bad policy, and supremely arrogant.

Just document it properly, lay out the risks, and leave it to the reader to decide on policy.
