>>good reasons to keep private the details of how things work behind the scenes. That's just good business sense, and I don't have any problem with the concept at all.<<

This is of course a truism. All successful businesspeople understand the principle.

But what does becoming a MVP have to do with business secrets? If you are saying that "assisting your fellows publicly to become a MVP" automatically creates entitlement to commercially advantageous foreknowledge and other secret information, then you are describing "elitism" just as surely as I did but using different words.

Elitism is of course fine unless its beneficiaries shroud it in secrecy, in which case one has a duty to challenge, IMHO. Only those whose position will not stand up to scrutiny need to fear that.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
