I don't think it is a silly knob, in fact it may be the only knob you can
have, dmesg holds messages/texts, you can print it, and you can clear it,
other than that may be a silly knob.

I'm failing to understand why anyone feels the hardware specs are
sensitive enough to hide from anyone.

Honestly. There's security that matters, and then there's make-believe
not-worth-an-ounce-of-effort-to-obfuscate stuff that isn't important
at all. I classify this in the latter.
