After much consideration, I realised that I did not unveil the full grandmaster secret on this opening. To make amends, I address the complete and thorough refutation of it here.

Remember, tell NONE of my colleagues--I could be assassinated!

The "main" line (white naively captures the queen) and the variants after move 6 (obviously dxe4 also loses) and all lines lose for white.
White however is winning if he doesn't blunder with Bg5.
