Still secret. That's part of the point. I'd rather not have everyone
looking over the transcript and saying, "Oh, well, I wouldn't have been
convinced by that." As long as the AI-boxers don't know what happened
to the gatekeeper in the experiment, they'll have a harder time
logicking themselves into believing it wouldn't happen to them.

Also, I don't want anyone else to know the human root password.
