[acm] this is a start, and it avoids speculating about the dark side of the response:

Concealing the transport protocol header information makes the stream performance
unavailable to passive observers along the path, and
likely leads to the development of alternative methods to collect that data..

Gorry: Thanks. So, I think that is a great direction, I now suggest 
replacing this para entire para with:

The data can also inform Internet engineering research, and help the 
development of new protocols, methodologies, and procedures. Concealing 
the transport protocol header information makes the stream performance 
unavailable to passive observers along the path, and likely leads to the 
development of alternative methods to collect or infer that data.
