'things everyone knows?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'one respects dissembling' is the wordplay.
'dissembling' indicates an anagram.
'one'+'respects'='onerespects'
'onerespects' with letters rearranged gives 'OPEN SECRETS'.
