Is an obscure reference legal if the other team probably does not know it?
The designer explained the distinction directly and it matches the rulebook.

Yes by the letter: obscure public references are allowed. The designer adds that a reference you know the opponents cannot know is treated as private in spirit, so he suggests care. Truly private items, like what you ate or an inside joke, are forbidden.
