You have the same opportunity as your opponent, so it's a level playing field. A good way to combat this is to have a broader opening repertoire so your opponent is less likely to know what you are going to do. I know where you are coming from though. I used to play the 30/30 Lonewolf league and never got to play my French defense with black because my opponents would see I had a good knowledge score with it. On the plus side, I have been more motivated to build a stronger repertoire against d4.
