and yes when my equipment and time are involved and it involves any kind of finances, then yes i do want to know what the profitability is and how it is achieved.If you rented out a building to someone, you would want to know what they are doing or else you could end up with some kind of child porn business that could ultimately effect you. I know totally different subject but same principle.
You know the profitability, as you know how much you are being paid.
You have no right to know how it is achieved, that is the IP of the pool owner.
If you invested $X in a mutual fund, would you expect them to describe exactly the methods they chose to determine how much of which stock they bought? No, you would get a broad description of how the fund worked, and no view of the details, as they are what give fund A a competitive advantage over fund B.
