Needs Help: Dangerously Genre Savvy

I know I said I wouldn't open a new thread related to this if the moderators close the second thread I tried opening for this trope, but when I did so at the time, I was under the mistaken assumption the Trope Repair Shop was open for new threads. Now that the New Year's Purge came by (and that Shimaspawn said it will only be opened after that event came by), I decided to create a new thread anyway. So that I don't get on the moderator's bad side, this will genuinely be the last time I'll be trying to open a thread related to this trope.

Anyway, the problem with this trope isn't that it's being misused. Far from it. Rather, it's the fact that its name is a Bad Snowclone of Genre Savvy. I believe this trope was named when Genre Savvy underwent a ginormous Trope Decay to the point that the trope's description was altered in an attempt to justify the Shoehorned in examples. Now that Genre Savvy was fixed (and that there's a massive cleanup project in an attempt to get rid of the misuse), Dangerously Genre-Savvy no longer has a reason to keep its name since it's now possible to be Dangerously Genre-Savvy without being Genre Savvy. Dangerously Genre-Savvy is no longer a subtrope to Genre Savvy.

For clarification on what the tropes are about, Dangerously Genre-Savvy is about characters "taking advantage on how things usually go within their world for their own benefit, showing just how clever or wise a character is", while Genre Savvy is now about demonstrating knowledge specifically obtained from pieces of fiction.

Declining opening. OP is poorly written and spends more time talking about opening the TRS than the problem.
