You are missing the value/reason for noadvertise. This is so that non
list members can not see your list, not so that other list owners can
not see it. If MajorCool manipulates it's access to hosted lists in
this manner, every list can be set to noadvertise, then each list owner
would still be able to see their own lists, but not others. *This also
assumes that each list owner is a member of their own list.*
In the same manner, only members can see the lists they are members of.
